Frequently asked questions
- What is this tool best used for?
- It is most useful for spotting overused words in a draft, auditing a piece of content to verify that a target keyword receives appropriate emphasis, and building quick vocabulary or repetition reports for editorial review.
- How does the counting work?
- Punctuation adjacent to words is stripped, then all words are lowercased before counting, so "Cat," "cat", and "CAT" all contribute to the same count. Words are then sorted by frequency, highest first.
- Why do words like "the", "a", and "in" always appear at the top?
- Function words and stop words dominate most English text by raw count. If you want to analyse meaningful content words, look further down the list or filter out common stop words. The most interesting signal is usually in the mid-frequency range, where topic-specific vocabulary clusters.
- Does my text get sent to a server?
- No. All counting and ranking is done locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
- Are "color" and "colors" counted as the same word?
- No. The tool does not apply stemming or lemmatization. Each distinct surface form is counted separately. "Color", "colors", "colored", and "coloring" would each appear as individual entries in the results.
