It rewrites the title into letters, numbers, and one separator. Accented letters lose their marks. An ampersand is replaced with the word and. Apostrophes are deleted, so a contraction stays one word. Everything else that is not a letter, number, space, hyphen, or underscore becomes a space.
Underscores in the title are treated as spaces, then the words are joined with the separator you picked. Hyphens that already sit between letters are not turned into spaces, so they can remain inside one word when the separator is an underscore. The Words count is the number of those pieces.
The character count is the slug’s length. When the slug is empty, the green box shows a placeholder and the count stays 0. Copy Slug copies the slug, and it does nothing while that slug is empty.
