Paragraph Statistics Calculator
Word and sentence counts for every paragraph in a pasted text, with the shape of the document charted.
What is Paragraph Stats?
Paragraphs are the unit a reader navigates by, and their length is structure rather than style. A document with one 400-word paragraph and nine short ones has a shape, and the shape is usually the thing to fix: a paragraph past about 150 words is normally two paragraphs that were never split. Per-paragraph statistics turn that judgement into something countable, and they are also the quickest way to find the paragraph doing too much in an essay — the one with three times the average sentence count is almost always the one holding three separate ideas.
How it works
Paragraphs are blocks separated by at least one blank line, which is how prose is written and how Markdown defines them — a single newline is a line break, not a paragraph. Each block is tokenised and split into sentences with the category's shared splitter, giving words, sentences, characters and words per sentence per paragraph, and the results are charted in buckets from under 50 words to 150 and over. The longest paragraph is highlighted in the table and named under the overall statistics, because that is the row the decision is made from; an empty or whitespace-only block is ignored rather than counted as a paragraph.
