Word Frequency Counter
Count how often each word appears in your text, ranked by frequency.
Every writer has crutch words — the "very", "just" and "actually" that multiply unnoticed across a draft. Word frequency analysis makes them visible, and it serves SEO writers checking keyword usage, students analyzing texts, and anyone curious what a document actually emphasizes.
Paste any text and get a ranked table of every word with its count and percentage of the total. Case is normalized so "The" and "the" count together, and contractions like "don't" are treated as single words. Analysis happens entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Common mistakes to avoid
- Judging keyword usage without accounting for text length — 10 occurrences means different things in 200 vs 2,000 words.
- Optimizing prose to hit an exact word-frequency target instead of reading it aloud for natural flow.
