Syllable Counter
Count syllables using a vowel-based heuristic optimized for English text. Useful for poetry, haiku checking, and readability analysis.
How It Works
- Counts vowel groups (consecutive vowels = 1 syllable)
- Subtracts silent e at end of words
- Handles common diphthongs and exceptions
- Per-word breakdown shows individual counts
FAQ
How are syllables counted?
A vowel-based heuristic counts vowel groups in each word, with adjustments for silent e, diphthongs, and common English patterns.
Is this accurate for all words?
It works well for most English words but is heuristic-based, not dictionary-based. Unusual words or names may be slightly off.
