Word Frequency Counter

Count how often each word appears, with stop-word filtering and a frequency chart.

A word frequency counter tallies how often each word appears in a text and ranks them. Filter out common stop words such as "the" and "and", set a minimum word length, and see each word's share of the total alongside a bar chart and a lexical-variety figure.

Frequently asked questions

What are stop words and should I remove them?

The most common function words — the, and, of, to. Removing them is right when you want to see what a text is about, since they otherwise dominate every count. Keep them when analysing style, where their frequency is the signal.

What does lexical variety tell me?

The ratio of unique words to total words. A low ratio means heavy repetition, which can indicate keyword stuffing or simply a narrow topic. It falls naturally as a text gets longer, so only compare passages of similar length.
