Questions
Do references count towards my word limit?
It depends on your module, so check the brief. This counter can leave out the reference list and in-text citations for you.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
No. Everything is counted in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
How is reading time worked out?
From the number of words at a typical silent reading speed.
