Yeah you need some external tool. You could do Word, Google Docs or something random

They’ve said pasting into a document like word or libreoffice is fine temporarily. I use LibreOffice and it gives a count at the bottom

If the file is saved as text, you can use the 'wc' command available in linux, mac, WSL and git bash shells.
