I have this is what I call misc.el which gets loaded at run time --
relies on the aforementioned WC but works fine with M-x wc return.  I
did not write this myself but cannnot remember where I cribbed it from
( all credit goes to whoever it was ).

Cheers

;; WORD COUNT
(defun wc ()
"Count the words in the current buffer, show the result in the
 minibuffer"
 (interactive)
 (save-excursion 
 (save-restriction
 (widen)
 (goto-char (point-min))
 (let ((count 0))
 (while (forward-word 1)
  (setq count(1+ count)))
(message "There are %d words in the buffer" count)))))
