Great question. Hyphenated words like 'self-driving' are counted as a single word by [Word Counter](/tools/word-counter) to reflect how they're commonly treated in writing.
Can I count text with HTML tags?
Yes, but HTML might inflate the count. Use [Remove HTML](/tools/remove-html) first to strip tags and get an accurate reading.
