Word Frequency Counter
This tool analyzes how often individual words appear in a block of text and presents the results as counts and percentages. It helps you understand which terms dominate the content and how evenly words are distributed across the text.
Instead of scanning text manually or relying on intuition, the tool provides a clear, data-driven breakdown that is useful for writing analysis, SEO review, content research, and general text exploration.
How Word Frequency Analysis Works
The tool processes your text locally in the browser, splits it into individual words, and aggregates how many times each word appears. From this, it calculates both the absolute count and the relative percentage of each word compared to the total number of considered words.
Optional filters allow you to exclude noise such as very short words or common stop words, so the results focus on terms that carry more meaning in context.
Inputs and Options Explained
You can refine the analysis using several options that control which words are included and how results are displayed.
- Minimum word length — Excludes very short words by requiring a minimum number of characters before a word is counted.
- Ignore case — Treats words with different letter casing as the same, such as Text and text.
- Remove stop words — Filters out common words like “the”, “and”, or “is” to highlight more meaningful terms.
- Top results — Limits the number of words shown in the results table.
- Sort by — Orders results either by frequency (most common first) or alphabetically from A to Z.
Understanding the Results
Each row in the results table shows a word, how many times it appears, and what percentage of the analyzed text it represents. Higher percentages indicate stronger dominance of that term within the text.
These insights are useful for spotting repetition, identifying key themes, or ensuring that important terms are neither overused nor underrepresented.
Who Should Use This Tool
