Word Frequency Counter

Paste an article, essay or transcript and instantly see which words you use most: a ranked table of every word with its count and percentage of the text. Toggle small function words (the, a, of…) off to reveal the words that actually carry your meaning — writers use this to catch overused words; SEO folks, to check keyword balance.

The analysis runs entirely in your browser: nothing you paste is uploaded anywhere. Case is folded (The and the count together), punctuation is ignored, and the table re-ranks live as you edit.

  3. Scan the top of the table for accidental repetition, then copy or re-edit your text.

Frequently asked questions

What is word frequency analysis used for?

Writers catch overused words; students check vocabulary variety in essays; SEO writers verify keyword balance; linguists and teachers study text style. It is the fastest way to see what a text is really made of.

How are words counted?

Text is split on anything that is not a letter or number, and case is folded — 'Dog', 'dog' and 'DOG!' all count as the same word. Numbers count as words too.

What are stopwords?

High-frequency function words (the, and, of, to…) that carry grammar but little meaning. Hiding them lets the content words rise to the top of the table — usually where the insight is.

Is my text private?

Completely — counting happens in your browser's JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, stored or logged, so confidential drafts are safe here.
