Comment:

 You'll have to initialise the counter yourself now. It's not part of
 `wp_editor` and the word count script was only meant to be used with the
 main editor. You could use the script now though, it's more abstract and
 might be moved to `wp-includes`. See #30966 for more background and take a
 look at `wp-admin/js/post.js` for an example on how to use it with
 `wp_editor`. If you're using scrips under `wp-admin` on the front-end,
 you'll have to keep up with the development of them.
