About the Word Frequency Counter
Word Frequency Counter counts how often each word appears in your text and shows the longest, shortest and most repeated words. It helps writers avoid repetition, teachers analyse texts and researchers study vocabulary.
The tool splits text into words, ignores differences in capitalisation and lists each word with its count. Common words such as "the" and "and" naturally appear most often, so look further down the list for meaningful repeated terms. Repetition of a key term can be right in technical writing but distracting in stories.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Read the table of words and counts.
- Look at the longest and shortest words.
- Edit your text to reduce unwanted repetition.
Tips and good to know
- Sort by count to find overused words.
- Use synonyms for variety.
- Compare drafts.
Frequently asked questions
Is it case sensitive?
No.
Does it ignore punctuation?
Yes. It counts English letters, digits and apostrophes, so words in other scripts or with accents are not counted by this tool.
