How many words are in the book dreadful acts - The Computers & Internet

I fell asleep at count 100,

IS "A" a word or "THE"?

I wrote (coded)a C++ program once to count all words of 4chars or equal.
or 3 char, your rules your Job.
so can you , If you want it';s like day one class on programming this, counting chars, finding 4 more in sequence.
first buy the book (In epub fmt) and then scan it and count.
or cover the epub to text file, for more easy work, (hint)
let the PC do all the hard work.
if you look on top programming sites endless free example exist.(on this)
but why do this? most want page count. not WORD.
you could just get the average # words on 1 page.
and multiply pages by that. easy no?
