How to use this tool

  1. Paste the passage to analyze.
  2. Choose whether uppercase and lowercase forms should belong to the same group.
  3. Run Count frequency. Each output row contains a word, its count, and its percentage of all words.

Understanding the output

The most frequent words appear first; ties use English alphabetical comparison. Common words such as the and and remain included. Percentages use the full word total even when more than 100 distinct terms exist and only the leading 100 are displayed.

Repeated wording in a short sentence

Clear words make clear writing. contains five words. With case grouping enabled, clear occurs twice and accounts for 40% of the total.

Use repetition as an editing signal

Repeated words can reveal a habit in a draft, but frequency alone cannot tell whether the repetition is a problem. A technical explanation may need to repeat a precise term to stay clear. Replacing every occurrence with a synonym can introduce ambiguity. Read the relevant sentences before deciding whether to remove, vary, or retain a repeated word.

Function words often dominate a frequency list because they connect ordinary sentences. This tool leaves them visible so the report remains transparent; it does not silently remove a stop-word list or assign an SEO quality score.

Understand what a word share can tell you

A share describes this specific passage and its counting rules. It does not measure importance, sentiment, originality, or search ranking potential. There is no recommended keyword density built into the tool. Use it to compare drafts with similar scope, inspect repeated labels, or identify wording to review, then judge the actual meaning in context.

Method and supported input

Unicode word-like segments are counted in a map. Optional lowercase normalization combines case variants. Rows are ranked by descending count and limited to 100 for a readable result.

  • Every counted token contributes equally to the total.
  • English-locale segmentation is appropriate for the input.

Limitations

  • Different grammatical forms are not stemmed or merged.
  • The report does not detect plagiarism or evaluate SEO quality.

Common questions

Are singular and plural forms combined?

No. Different spellings remain separate words, even when their meanings are related.

Why does a displayed percentage not use only the top 100 words?

The denominator is the complete passage so each percentage retains its actual share of all counted words.
