Is there a way to create a field or value that identifies the number of words in a field? Preferably ETL, but Beastmode if necessary.

It will count them as separate words.
You could utilize a regexp_replace to condense all multi-spaces to a single space.
LENGTH(`field`) - LENGTH(REPLACE(REGEX_REPLACE(`field`, ' +', ' '), ' ', '')) + 1

If you're considering a word as a number of characters separated by a space you can do something like this with a formula tile:
LENGTH(`field`) - LENGTH(REPLACE(`field`, ' ', '')) + 1
This will count the number of spaces in your field

thanks. How will that handle double spaces? Will it count a double or triple (etc.) space as a single space?
