On this occasion I must say it is bugged.
It counts spaces, not words.
But thanks, it still will do it!

By default, %numwords() uses a single space to denote word boundaries. You can specify any character or string you desire to mark the boundaries.
%numwords("This-is-a-test","-") should give you a count of 4
%numwords("This--is--a--test","-") should give you a count of 7, if I added correctly
