What about something like this (untested):
(defun my-count-words (&optional ignore-headings beg end)
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region (or beg (point-min)) (or end (point-max)))
(let ((count 0)
(count-words-in-string
(lambda (s) (length (split-string s "[^[:word:]]" t)))))
(org-element-map
(org-element-parse-buffer)
'(clock code entity example-block fixed-width footnote-reference
inline-src-block latex-fragment latex-environment
link macro plain-text src-block timestamp verbatim)
(lambda (datum)
(pcase (org-element-type datum)
(`plain-text
(unless (and ignore-headings
(memq (org-element-type
(org-element-property :parent datum))
'(headline inlinetask)))
(cl-incf count (funcall count-words-in-string datum))))
;; Count contents in words.
((or `code `example-block `fixed-width `latex-environment
`latex-fragment `src-block `verbatim)
(cl-incf count (funcall count-words-in-string
(org-element-property :value datum))))
;; Object counting as a single word.
(`(or `entity `inline-src-block `macro `timestamp)
(cl-incf count))
(`link
;; Links with contents are handled recursively by
;; `org-element-map'.
(unless (org-element-contents datum) (cl-incf count)))
(`footnote-reference
(pcase (org-footnote-get-definition
(org-element-property :label datum))
(`(,_ ,_ ,_ ,definition)
(cl-incf count (funcall count-words-in-string
definition)))))))
;; Do not blindly count footnote definitions and inline
;; references contents. We want to limit ourselves to
;; definitions actually referenced in the part of the document
;; we're parsing.
nil nil '(footnote-definition footnote-reference) t)
;; Return words count.
count)))
Note that some parts are really arbitrary (e.g., how to count a src
block...).
