What Word Frequency Counter does

Word Frequency Counter counts how many times each word appears in a block of text and ranks them from most to least frequent โ€” useful for spotting overused words or checking how often a target keyword actually shows up. It's free and analyzes entirely in your browser, with an option to filter out common stop words like "the" and "and."

Who should use it

Made for writers and students. Typical uses:

  • Checking whether a target keyword appears often enough โ€” or too often โ€” in an SEO article
  • Finding overused words in a draft so you can vary your word choice
  • Analyzing the most common terms in survey responses or customer feedback

Frequently asked questions

Does it ignore common words like "the" and "and"?
There's an optional stop-word filter so those filler words don't dominate the results.
Is it free to use?
Yes, completely free.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No, the analysis happens entirely in your browser.
Is the count case-sensitive?
By default it's case-insensitive, so "The" and "the" are counted as the same word.
Can I see phrase frequency, not just single words?
This tool counts individual words only โ€” a multi-word phrase analysis would need a different tool.
