      if (Character.isLetter(characters[i]) && i != endOfLine) {
        isWord = true;

        // if char isn't a letter and there have been letters before,
        // counter goes up.
      } else if (!Character.isLetter(characters[i]) && isWord) {
        wordCount++;
        isWord = false;

        // last word of String; if it doesn't end with a non letter, it
        // wouldn't count without this.
      } else if (Character.isLetter(characters[i]) && i == endOfLine) {
