How it works
Sometimes you want to know not just how many words you wrote, but which ones you lean on. This counts every word and ranks them from most to least frequent.
It is a quick way to catch a crutch word you have repeated twenty times, or to check keyword balance in a piece of writing without special software.
Paste any text and the ranked list appears instantly, with counts beside each word so the patterns in your writing are easy to spot.
Frequently asked questions
How does it decide what counts as a word?
It splits on spaces and punctuation and compares words without regard to case, so The and the are counted together.
Why would I want word frequencies?
Writers use it to spot overused words, and it helps with keyword checks in SEO. Seeing your most common words often reveals unconscious habits.
Does it ignore common words like the and a?
By default it counts every word, including common ones. Those usually top the list, with your meaningful words appearing just below.
