Zohar (with and w/o the Tikunei Zohar)
Tikkunei Zohar
Also is there a site/place that lists or otherwise aids in wordcounts for different Jewish books /Seforim ?

@kouty We’ve has this kind of question asked for Midrash Rabbah and the Kitzur SA. Why should this be any different? – DonielF Apr 28 '19 at 11:38

1It is not different for me. I don't understand how this helps! – kouty Apr 28 '19 at 11:42

@kouty My opinion is that they’re all on topic. If you’re going to be voting this one as off-topic, at least vote to close the others as well. – DonielF Apr 28 '19 at 11:53

It is not important for me to close I cancel my opinion – kouty Apr 28 '19 at 11:59

@Yesh Tikva, May I suggest you go to http://www.toratemetfreeware.com/online/d_root__106_kabala.html and count each section and then come back to us with an answer. – Danny Schoemann Apr 28 '19 at 15:15

@Danny it's not Bitul Tora? – kouty Apr 28 '19 at 19:54

1@JoshuaPearl Well aren't you sehr klug ;) – ezra Apr 28 '19 at 20:59

@kouty - for me and you, it is Bitul Torah. If Yesh-Tikva needs this information then for him it isn't. (That's why I didn't go counting for him.) – Danny Schoemann Apr 29 '19 at 10:12

@DannySchoemann Right! – kouty Apr 29 '19 at 10:16

You guys are all hilarious so I did partially what you said I went to the website and downloaded the text file and used a character counter ;);) Tikkunei has about 148000 words could be a little off since it includes The sources (ie bamidbar 21 1 , Shir hashirim 2,2 etc.) – Yesh Tikva May 15 '19 at 09:24

Zohar in Total (without Tikkunei but with Zohar Chadash) = Approx 1,128,000 words – Yesh Tikva May 15 '19 at 09:45

@YeshTikva - then post that info as answer. – Danny Schoemann Aug 14 '19 at 11:23

I discuss word counts for different classical Jewish works here: Words of Wisdom: Word Counts of Classical Jewish Works (requires registration).
Based on Bar-Ilan Responsa Project CD, the word count of the main body of Zohar is 691,909. Including all the traditionally included works ('Zoharic literature' - such as Midrash HaNane'elam, Ra'aya Mahemna, etc. ) : 1,239,420
For a more detailed breakdown, see the screenshot of Bar-Ilan Responsa Project CD that I cite in my blog here.
(Unfortunately the screenshot that I was sent was cut off, so I can't answer what the word count of Tikunei Zohar is.)
