How the counts are calculated
Words are counted as whitespace-separated tokens, so hyphenated words and contractions each count as one word. Sentences are counted by periods, question marks, and exclamation points, and paragraphs are counted by line breaks between blocks of text. Reading time assumes an average silent reading speed of 200 words per minute.
