Common Mistakes to Avoid
Confusing words with characters
Solution: Words are separated by spaces. "Hello world" is 2 words but 11 characters (including space).
Not accounting for formatting
Solution: HTML tags, markdown, and special formatting may affect counts. Use plain text for accurate results.
Ignoring platform-specific limits
Solution: Different platforms count differently (e.g., Twitter counts URLs as 23 characters). Check specific requirements.
