What it does
Count paragraphs in any text, with average word count per paragraph and a live outline that shows the first few words of each. Useful for long-form writing where structure matters — blog posts, essays, and reports with a target paragraph count.
Combine with sentence counter, reading time estimator, and word counter to get a complete view of a draft before you publish.
How to use it
- Paste your draft into the textarea.
- Read paragraph count, words per paragraph, and longest paragraph.
- Scan the outline strip to see the opening of each paragraph.
- Break up paragraphs that are too long or merge ones that are too short.
