Vanilla Emacs offers you the word count in the
region, with `M-=' (`count-words-region'). As
you say, that doesn't provide what you request.
But may help somewhat.

This too doesn't offer what you request, but it
might help you nevertheless: `modeline-region.el'.

1. Customize option `mlr-non-rectangle-style' to
"Lines, words, and chars" (`lines+words+chars').
2. To get the same effect with a rectangular region
(selection), customize `mlr-rectangle-style' to
"Rows, columns, words, and chars"
(`rows+cols+words+chars').
3. Enable minor mode `modeline-region-mode' or
`global-modeline-region-mode'.
Whenever the region is active, the number of words
(and more) selected is shown in the mode line. So
`C-x C-x' shows you the count any time.
Works even for a rectangular region. (Option
`mlr-count-partial-words-flag' controls whether to
count words that straddle rectangle boundaries.)
As usual, `C-x h' to select the whole buffer, to
see buffer counts.
