Display the word count of a piece of content

In the most useful comment on a thread of useful comments, Greg Harvey describes how to get the word count for a node in the template level: access just the body portion of the content variable for a node in and count the words in template.php, then output this variable in node.tpl.php.

There is also a module for displaying word counts of recent posts (not, it seems, on the node itself when viewing it): http://drupal.org/project/wordcount

Searched words:
