That makes sense. Any idea how to fix it? Or even another method to do a word count? Thanks

}

This block here will end up in an infinite loop if the document contains misspelled words -- range.location will end up being something other than NSNotFound, then the loop will repeat, starting at the beginning of the string again.

If you have an application hanging, Sampler is a good tool to use to troubleshoot it. Also, stepping through your block of code in XCode or gdb would quickly reveal that you're stuck in the while loop forever.

It works fine for documents that have not set off a red flag in the
spellchecker. As soon as the document contains a word that the
spellchecker doesn't know, the word count stops working. The app
freezes when I try to do a word count. Can anyone offer any insights as
to why this is happening?
