Word Frequency Counter
Text
Paste any text and the tool tokenizes it (Unicode-aware, so it handles non-Latin scripts), counts every word, and shows the top N sorted by frequency with a bar chart per row. Toggle stopword stripping to filter out the 100+ most common English filler words (the, a, of, to…). Useful for SEO keyword density, content analysis, essay editing, or finding overused words in your own writing.
Counts appear here once you paste text.
How to use
- Paste your text in the top panel.
- Optionally toggle case-insensitive, stopword filtering, and minimum word length.
- See the top N words with bars. Click 'show all' for the full list, or copy as CSV.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the stopword list?
- 100+ very common English words (articles, prepositions, pronouns, auxiliary verbs). Useful for content analysis where 'the' showing up 200 times isn't interesting. Turn off for raw counts.
- How does Unicode tokenization work?
- Words are matched as runs of letters/numbers in any script — so `한글`, `日本語`, and `español` all tokenize correctly. The stopword list is English-only, though.
- Why does the tool count `it's` as one word?
- Contractions (`it's`, `don't`, `we're`) are treated as single tokens to match how people write. Statistical text analysis splits them; readability analysis doesn't.
- Is this good for SEO keyword density?
- Yes for getting raw counts. But keyword density is a weak SEO signal in 2026 — modern search engines look at semantic relevance, not term frequency. Use this for editing, not gaming rankings.
