Hi, Repeated
The block above is hi 100 times, or 299 characters. The buttons rebuild it at 1,000 copies, which is 2,999 characters, or 10,000, which is 29,999. Two letters is the lightest thing to repeat.
Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times
100 copies — 299 characters.
The lightest phrase on the site
“hi” is two characters, plus one space between copies, so N copies come to 3N minus 1 characters. Nothing shorter is worth repeating, and it means more copies fit inside any fixed limit than for any longer phrase here.
| Copies | Characters | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 299 | 100 |
| 1,000 | 2,999 | 1,000 |
| 10,000 | 29,999 | 10,000 |
Each copy is one word, so the word count and the copy count are the same number.
How much fits in one message
- 160 characters, the size of a single GSM-7 text message, holds 53 copies.
- 2,000 characters, Discord’s cap for one message, holds exactly 667 copies. 667 times 3, minus 1, is 2,000 on the nose.
- The 1,000-copy block is 2,999 characters, so it needs two messages there rather than one.
Why the spaces matter
Every copy is separated by a space, and with a two-letter word that is a third of the block. It is not waste. A run of ten thousand copies with no spaces would be one 20,000-character word, and most chat windows and text fields will not wrap a single word, so it would run off the edge instead of filling the screen. The spaced version wraps into a solid rectangle, which is the effect people are usually after.
Case, and what happens on a phone
The block is lowercase. Autocapitalisation on iOS and Android fires when you type the first letter of a sentence, not when you paste, so a pasted block stays exactly as it is here. Type Hi into the box first if you want it capitalised. The same holds on hi on iPhone.
Longer greetings
hello is five characters, so a hundred copies runs 599 rather than 299 – roughly double the block for one extra syllable. bye sits between them at 399 for a hundred copies. The generic version of this tool is repeat any text.
