There is no status bar for TextEdit Application on the Mac, so it is not straightforward to find the count of the number of words in a file, you will need to make use of the find option as a workaround to get the count.
- Open the file in TextEdit App.
- Now go to Menu: Edit -> Find -> Find....
- Now click on the find icon (search) and select insert pattern.
- Select "Any Word Characters"
- This should select all words in the file and give you a count.
