The above applet counts the words in a section of text, like the Unix WC utility. I wrote it to help with writing letters to the editor, which often have limits on the number of words they'll allow. Simply paste the text you want to count into the text area, and the number of words will appear in the text field. When you paste, make sure that the destination text area has focus (is ready to accept input) by clicking in it.
Being a Java applet, the above version of WordCount needed to be simple. More sophisticated application versions also available. There is a Java application, which requires a Java Virtual Machine to run. And there is a C++ version which will run on any Windows system.
