Word Frequency Counter
Analyse any text to see which words appear most often, with optional stop-word filtering and CSV export.
About Word Frequency Counter
Paste any text and see a ranked table of which words appear most often, with counts and percentages. It is the quickest way to find out what a document is actually about, and what it repeats more than the author realised.
Common filler words — the, and, of, to and the rest — can be filtered out with one toggle. Without that filter, every English text produces the same top ten and tells you nothing. With it, the words that carry meaning rise to the top.
Phrase counting covers two- and three-word sequences as well as single words, which is what makes this useful for keyword work: search behaviour runs on phrases far more than on isolated words. Results export as CSV for further analysis.

Frequently asked questions
What are stop words?
High-frequency function words like the, is, at, and of. They dominate any word count while carrying almost no topical meaning, so filtering them is what turns a raw count into something informative.
What keyword density should I aim for?
There is no target worth chasing. Modern search engines do not reward a density figure, and writing towards one produces text that reads badly. Use this to catch genuine overuse — a word appearing far more than the writing warrants — rather than to hit a number.
How are words counted?
Text is lowercased and split on non-letter characters, so Word and word count together. Hyphenated words are split into parts, and numbers are excluded by default since they rarely tell you anything about the subject.
Is my text uploaded?
