About this tool
This word frequency counter is for writers checking if they've overused a word, SEO researchers checking keyword density, or anyone curious which words dominate a speech, essay or article. It counts exact word matches, case-insensitively, and ignores punctuation.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text into the box.
- The frequency table updates automatically, ranked from most to least common word.
- Check the density column to see what percentage of the text each word makes up.
Frequently asked questions
Does it count common words like "the" and "and"?
Yes — it counts every word exactly as written, including common ones. If you're checking keyword density for SEO, focus on the words relevant to your topic further down the list.
Is capitalization considered when counting?
No — "Word" and "word" are counted as the same word, since that's how most frequency analysis is meant to work. The table displays the lowercase form.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — everything is calculated directly in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server.
