Writing in paragraphs

A strong paragraph carries one idea, runs about 3-5 sentences, and ends with a hook into the next. Online readers skim, so most blog posts and landing pages keep paragraphs short — two or three sentences each. Academic writing tolerates longer paragraphs but should still break naturally on each new idea.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a paragraph?
Any block of text separated from the next by one or more blank lines. A single line followed by another single line with no blank between them is treated as one paragraph.
Why count paragraphs?
Editors and teachers often set paragraph requirements (e.g. 'five-paragraph essay'). Bloggers track paragraph count to keep posts scannable — most readers skim, so shorter paragraphs lift engagement.
Does the counter handle pasted Markdown or HTML?
Yes. Paste raw Markdown, HTML, or plain text — paragraph detection looks for blank-line separators, so the count stays accurate either way.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
