Find the words that appear most often in your text
Paste text into the box and this word frequency counter tallies how often each word appears, listing the top 20 with bars from most to least frequent. It also shows the total word count and the number of distinct (unique) words. Use it to check a report, cover letter or blog post for overused words, to skim the key terms of a long document or meeting notes, or to pull frequent words from a language-learning text.
Text is split into words at every character that is not a letter or digit: spaces, line breaks, full stops, commas, quotes and symbols. With 'ignore letter case' on (the default), English words are lowercased before counting. Identical words are grouped, counted and sorted by count; ties keep the order in which words first appear. Bar length is relative to the top word's count. For example, the Korean sample sentence that the box starts with has 13 words and 10 unique words, and its top word appears 3 times. Words with different particles attached count separately, so Korean nouns with and without a particle are not merged.
Only letters and digits belong to a word, so they are split: it's becomes it and s, co-op becomes co and op.
No. There is no stemming, so cat and cats, or run and ran, are different words. Only letter case can be merged, via the checkbox.
The ranking shows 20 entries. The total and unique word counts, however, cover the whole text.
No. Splitting and counting happen entirely in your browser and no request carries your text. Closing the page clears it.
