Method and calculation
Count how many words have each Unicode character length.
Inputs and settings
Word Length Distribution accepts Input text.
Worked example
Word Length Distribution example — Input text: "Hello world\nA second line\nHello world". Computed output: { "1": 1, "4": 1, "5": 4, "6": 1 }
Output and limitations
Length is measured in Unicode code points rather than UTF-16 storage units. The report groups words by size instead of listing their frequency. Combining marks and joined emoji require grapheme analysis for visual length, so the count is a linguistic token approximation.
