[request] Show Article Word Count

I would love to have a plugin that would show the total number of words in an article, that for instance I could use in a form.

Title, Date, Word Count, Comments link, etc...

Both zem_article_info and lam_article_info gather this information but only show it admin-side.

Would this be an easy plugin to create?

Thanks.

You mean something like this? Very rough round the edges. Could expand it to do other stuff long term…
