Frequently asked questions
How do I count word frequency in a text?
Paste your text into the box above. The tool counts every word live and shows a frequency table sorted from the most used to the least used word.
What is the difference between total words and unique words?
Total words counts every word including repeats, while unique words counts each distinct word only once.
Does it treat "The" and "the" as the same word?
Yes, when the case-insensitive option is on, which is the default. Turn it off to count different capitalizations separately.
Can I hide short words like "a" and "is"?
Yes. Raise the minimum word length option so short words are excluded from the stats and table.
How is the share percentage calculated?
Each word count is divided by the total number of counted words and shown as a percentage of the text.
