About Word Frequency Counter

The Word Frequency Counter analyses a block of text and tells you exactly how often each word appears, ranked from the most common to the least.

Paste an essay, an article, a transcript or a chunk of code comments and it instantly builds a frequency table, with words sorted by count and ties broken alphabetically so the output is always stable and easy to scan.

It is genuinely useful for writers checking whether they lean on the same word too often, for students and researchers doing simple text analysis, for SEO work where keyword density matters, and for anyone curious about the shape of a piece of writing.

Three options let you focus the results.

Case-insensitive counting merges "The" and "the" into a single entry, which is usually what you want; turn it off to keep capitalisation distinct.

A minimum word length hides short connective words so longer, more meaningful terms rise to the top.

And a stop-word filter removes the most common English filler — the, and, of, to and dozens more — leaving only the words that actually carry the topic.

The tokeniser understands Unicode letters and keeps apostrophes and hyphens inside words, so "don't" and "well-known" are counted correctly rather than split apart.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded, logged or stored, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

FAQ

How are words defined?

A word is a run of letters or digits, including any apostrophes or hyphens inside it, so contractions like "don't" and compounds like "well-known" stay intact. Punctuation and whitespace separate words.

What are stop words?

Stop words are the most common, low-meaning words in English such as the, and, of and to. Excluding them surfaces the topic-carrying words instead of filler.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All counting happens in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server, logged or stored.
