Count letters, without the digits and punctuation

Letters only — no digits, no punctuation, no spaces. Alongside it sit the other counts, so you can see at a glance how much of your text is actually letters and how much is everything else.

Letters means alphabetic characters in any language — accented letters and non-Latin scripts count — with digits, punctuation and spaces excluded.

How it works

01

A letter is any alphabetic character

In any script. Accented Latin letters count, and so do Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and CJK characters — the test is whether Unicode classifies it as a letter, not whether it appears in the English alphabet. A tool that counts only A–Z reports “café” as three letters, which is wrong in a way that matters for anyone not writing in English.

02

Everything else is separated out

Digits, punctuation and symbols are counted together as their own figure, so the three numbers on screen — letters, characters without spaces, characters with spaces — add up in a way you can check rather than having to trust.

What it does

Four counts side by side

Letters, characters excluding spaces, characters including spaces, and everything that is not a letter. Enough to answer whichever version of the question you were asked.

Unicode-aware

Accents, non-Latin scripts and emoji are all handled properly. An emoji is one character, not two, because it is counted by symbol rather than by storage unit.

Instant and private

Counts update as you type, and the text never leaves your browser. There is no upload and no account.

Practical advice

Getting a better result

  • For crossword and puzzle work, the letters figure is the one you want — it ignores the spaces and hyphens that make a phrase look longer than it is.
  • For social media and meta descriptions, use the character counter instead: those limits count every character including spaces and punctuation.
  • If letters and characters-without-spaces differ by a lot, your text is mostly numbers or punctuation — worth a look if you expected prose.

Questions

Things people ask

Do accented letters count?

Yes. “Café” is four letters, and the same applies to any alphabetic character in any script — Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic and CJK all count. Tools that check only for A–Z get this wrong.

Are numbers counted as letters?

No. Digits are counted separately, alongside punctuation and symbols, so you can see both figures without having to work one out from the other.
