When it comes to word count, writing programs can count differently. There’s some that count certain punctuation, such as the em dash, and others that count hyphenated words as one.
Therefore, we recommend using Microsoft Word or WordCounter.
The same is true about syllable counters. For syllables, use Syllable Counter.
