Frequently asked questions about the sentence counter
How does the tool detect a sentence?+
It splits on full stops, question marks and exclamation marks followed by a space or line break, while ignoring common abbreviations such as 'e.g.' and 'Mr.'.
What is a good average sentence length?+
For general web writing, 15-20 words. Anything consistently above 25 words becomes hard to follow, especially on a phone screen.
Is this tool free to use?+
Yes, completely. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no daily limit. Data Wave Cloud is funded by unobtrusive advertising so the tools stay free permanently.
