Writers repeat favourite words without noticing. This counter ranks every word by how often it appears and shows its share of the whole, so overused ones stand out.
It also counts two- and three-word phrases and single letters. Common words such as "the" and "and" can be skipped so the meaningful ones rise to the top.
How to use the Word Frequency Counter tool
- Paste the text you want to analyse, or open it from a file.
- Choose words, phrases or letters, and whether to skip common words.
- Read the ranking, or download it as a CSV file.
Popular uses

Tips for the best result
- For SEO, a main keyword at one to two percent reads naturally.
- Two-word phrases reveal habits that single words hide, such as "in order" or "a lot".
