Word counter website/extension customized to Common App
Ṁ250 / 500
bounty left

Common App considers a word to be a string separated by spaces. "Example—example" is one word, "example.com" is one word, "example/example" is one word, " ~ " is one word. Google Drive fails some of these test cases. wordcounter.net used to pass them but now seems to fail?

Ideally I would love a Google Drive extension that counts words the same way the Common App does. If easy to use for me, I will provide the full 500 mana bounty. A website where I can copy paste things to count words, like wordcounter.net, will receive up to 250 mana. Other options will receive mana at my discretion based on usefulness with my workflow.

General policy for my bounty markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my stated criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the bounty market, I may pay out funds according to the bounty market's spirit or not at all.

https://wordcounter.io/ does it like the common app

Worst case you can use a python script like the one I put below and add whatever logic you want yourself if you aren’t satisfied with what’s out there.

text = "example-text.with/slashes-and.dots"

import re

pattern = r"[-./]"

result = re.sub(pattern, " ", text)

print(len(result.split(" ")))
