Without using any plugins if u want to show the number of words used in a page or post at the bottom, you can use the following code in function.php 

function  count_words( $content ) {
    $stripped_content = strip_tags( $content );
    $wordnum = str_word_count( $stripped_content );
    $label = __( 'Number of Words', 'wordcount' );
    $content .= sprintf( '<h2>%s:%s</h2>', $label, $wordnum );
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'count_words' );

Here is the result
