How things are counted
- Words are separated by spaces, tabs or line breaks and must contain a letter or digit. Punctuation stuck to a word (ہے۔) does not add a word; punctuation on its own (۔ or -) is not a word.
- Characters are the characters you see: a letter with a zer, zabar or pesh counts once. Spaces and line breaks are included.
- Characters without spaces leaves out spaces, tabs and line breaks.
- Lines include blank lines. A line break at the very end starts a new, empty line.
- Urdu is sometimes typed without a space after letters such as ا, د or ر. Those words look separate but are counted as one.

Good to know
Different programs count Urdu differently, especially characters with diacritics, so ToolSolvo states its rules:
- A word is anything between spaces or line breaks that contains a letter or a digit. Repeated spaces do not create extra words. ہے۔ is one word; a full stop (۔) on its own is not a word.
- A character is what you see as one character: دِل has 2 characters even though the zer is stored separately. Some programs count the zer too and show 3.
- Lines count every line, blank ones included.
- Urdu digits (۰–۹) and English digits both count as words, not as Urdu letters.
Limitations
- Urdu is sometimes typed without a space after non-joining letters (so two words look separate but are stored as one). Those are counted as one word, because there is no space between them.
- Words joined with a hyphen or slash, such as “Urdu/English”, count as one word.
