Frequently Asked Questions
Why find long words?
Long words often act as 'stumbling blocks' for readers. Identifying them allows you to audit your text for unnecessary complexity (e.g., changing 'utilization' to 'use').
Does it count punctuation?
No. The tool strips punctuation to measure the actual word length. 'Hello!' counts as 5 letters, not 6.
Can it handle hyphenated words?
Yes, hyphenated words like 'well-being' are typically treated as single compound words, depending on the specific tokenizer mode selected.
