Gravity Perks Word Count

Forms that collect essays, job applications, survey responses, or other written content can benefit from clear length requirements. This add-on lets you set minimum and maximum word counts for supported fields, including Single Line Text, Paragraph, Post Body, Post Excerpt, and Post Title. A live count gives people feedback while they write, so they can adjust a response before submitting the form.

The plugin validates word counts when a form is submitted and accounts for conditional logic and hidden fields. You can choose to display minimum and maximum counters below fields, and adjust counter labels and truncation behavior through filters. It can also work with Gravity Forms Pay Per Word for forms that use word count as part of a pricing model.
