What is Word Frequency Counter?

Word Frequency Counter scans pasted text and counts how many times each word appears, then ranks the results from most to least frequent. It is useful for spotting overused words, analyzing content patterns, or auditing vocabulary diversity.

How to Use Word Frequency Counter

  1. Paste your text into the input area.
  2. Toggle stop-word filtering to hide or include common words like 'the' and 'and'.
  3. Set a minimum count if you only want words that appear multiple times.
  4. Adjust 'Show top' to control how many results appear.
  5. Click Copy to copy the ranked list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stop word?

Stop words are common words like 'the', 'a', 'and' that appear in almost every text and usually aren't meaningful for frequency analysis. Enabling the filter removes them so you see only content words.

Does it count only English words?

The tool tokenizes on word boundaries and works best with Latin-script text. It does not currently handle CJK or other scripts that don't use spaces.

Is the text uploaded anywhere?

No. Analysis runs entirely in your browser —nothing is sent to any server.

What is the maximum text size?

There is no hard limit. Very large texts (10 MB+) may be slow depending on your device.
