Reddit user /u/stolksdorf was kind enough to build this word-counting tool for the Jam! It'll allow you to use ASCII art and create tables out of characters without having to worry about them adding to your word count. You can learn more about the tool by visiting its Github repo.

I've posted a link to it on the main Jam page and it'll be the official word-counter for the Jam.

Please also note: The title of your entry does not count against the 200 word limit. (This has been added to the rules section of the Jam page).
