100 words and 101 words

https://101words.org/ 
is a great website for very short fiction.

http://www.100wordstory.org/
is another.

Now it comes to counting the number of words in your flash fiction.
Simple?
All wordprocessing programs come up with varying totals.

I went to https://www.wordcount.com/  and they confirmed my story was 100 words

I went to https://wordcounttools.com/ and they made it 108.

Other sites had various figures between 100 and 108.

https://thewordcounter.co.uk/
concluded that the same story actually had 93 words.

Incidentally I could get https://wordcounttools.com/
down to 100 words by stripping out all the punctuation.

Flash fiction? It's a piece of cake.
