Hi Ally. This works perfectly! Thanks again for your fantastic 5-star support (and mark this solved!)

Ally, I did find a typo I made and what you gave me now works fine. Thanks.

Is it possible to have the word counter trim the text string in real-time so that if the number of words exceeds the max while the user is typing/pasting on the front-end, the words beyond the max are either replaced with spaces or not displayed? Otherwise, the user needs to hit submit to get the error message.

The counts match perfectly. Thanks. My error checker isn’t working though if the number of words exceeds the $max variable so I’ll need to dig in and see if I let a typo slip in. I’ll report back. Thank you again. Fantastic support!

Overall I really appreciate the effort that katw put into this. The approach works but the word count is pretty inaccurate (e.g. 500 words being counted as 462 by the validator, display shows 462 but further input is blocked by the validator). As katw said, the front-end counter method is different than the validator. I need to spend time trying to figure out how to make them agree or I may need to go back to your character counter.
