In-depth explanation
Detects sentences ending with . ! or ? and also shows words, paragraphs, and average words per sentence. Everything runs locally in your browser — your inputs are not uploaded to produce the result.
The tool looks for . ! or ? followed by a space or end of text. Abbreviations with periods may occasionally inflate the count. Total words divided by sentences — a quick readability signal. Shorter averages are often easier to scan.
Anything ending in ? or ! is treated as a sentence. Tweak the inputs above to compare options, then copy or note the result you need.
A sentence here generally ends at . ! or ? . Abbreviations such as “e.g.” and decimal numbers can fool a simple splitter, so treat the count as approximate on technical prose.
Average words per sentence is a readability hint, not a grade. Dialogue and headings will skew it. Pair with Word Counter if you also need a reading-time estimate.
