How the word frequency counter works

  1. Words are extracted with a Unicode-aware pattern.
  2. Frequencies are tallied and ranked.
  3. Great for spotting keyword stuffing and repetition.

Rules and edge cases

  • Words are extracted with a Unicode-aware pattern and ranked by how often they occur.
  • Case is ignored, so The and the are counted together.
  • Useful for spotting repetition, filler words and accidental keyword stuffing in a draft.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use frequency analysis when editing?

Ignore the stop words at the top and look at the content words below them. A term you did not intend to emphasise appearing often is usually a sign of repetitive phrasing.

Does it group singular and plural forms?

No. Each exact form is counted separately, which keeps the numbers literal and easy to verify against the text.
