Word counter for the Polish B1 exam

Paste your Polish text to check its word count. This tool uses the same counter as Plexiqa writing practice.

Check your text

Words: 0

This is a practice count using the Plexiqa method. In ambiguous cases, such as a date in the heading, the result may differ from an examiner’s count.

Counting happens in your browser. Text entered here is not saved.

The counter recognises a dateline on the first non-empty line containing a date or a format such as “Kraków, 15.06.2026 r.”. Its date counts as one word; within a sentence, day, month, year and “r.” count separately. Capitalise the place name. Format recognition can make mistakes.

How to check your word count

  1. Paste your answer, including its greeting, title and signature where present.
  2. Compare the count with the length specified in your task. Check each text separately.
  3. Keep a line break after the place and date in the heading so the counter can distinguish it from a date within the text.

How this counter works: examples

This counter treats prepositions and conjunctions as separate words. Extra spaces do not change the result. The examples below show how it handles special cases.
