Count the paragraphs in your text. A paragraph is any block of text separated from the next by a blank line, matching how documents and CMS editors structure content.

Private by design. Your text is processed entirely in your browser — it is never uploaded, logged, or stored on a server.
Paragraphs vs. lines
A line ends at every line break. A paragraph is a block separated by a blank line. A five-line address block with no blank lines is one paragraph but five lines. VerbCount reports both so you can match whatever your assignment or platform expects.
