How the calculation works
Count non-empty whitespace-separated tokens. Count runs of Unicode letters/numbers with apostrophes, hyphens and underscores retained. Emoji and standalone punctuation do not form words. This is a declared convention, not a search-engine quality score. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
Example
Worked example: Meta Description = "one two three". Result: 3.
Practical tip
Check the input labels and assumptions against the meta description word task before reusing the number.
