How to use it
Paste text to list each word with its count and share. Optionally ignore common words like "the".
Good to know
Words are compared in lowercase. Numbers and apostrophes inside words are kept.
Spot repeated wording in a draft
Paste a paragraph and choose whether to keep common words. For The quick fox jumps. The lazy dog sleeps. The fox runs., the tool finds 11 words; the appears 3 times (27.3%) and fox appears 2 times (18.2%). That gives you a quick review list before you revise a headline, draft, or transcript.
Interpret the percentage carefully
Words are lowercased, punctuation is removed, and apostrophes inside a word are retained. The percentage uses all words in the source, even when the common-word filter hides entries, so it is not a search-engine metric or a measure of writing quality. The built-in stop-word list is English only; proper names, spelling variants, and language-specific word boundaries still need human review.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find repeated words in my essay?
Paste the essay and look at the top of the list. Ignore common words to see the content words you lean on most.
Is this a keyword density checker?
Yes. The share column shows each word as a percentage of all words, which is the usual keyword density measure.
Does it count words with different capitalization together?
Yes. "The" and "the" are counted as the same word.
