FAQ
How do I count how many times a word appears?
Paste the text and find the word in the output — the number after it is how many times it occurs. With “Ignore case” on, “The” and “the” are counted together.
Can I use it to check keyword density?
Yes. The top of the list shows your most-repeated terms. Divide a word’s count by the total word count (from the Word & Character Counter) to get its density as a percentage.
How is a “word” defined?
A run of letters, digits, or straight apostrophes. Punctuation and spaces separate words, so don't counts as one word.
How are ties broken?
Words with the same count are listed alphabetically, so the output is stable and predictable.
Can I skip common short words?
Set “Ignore words shorter than” to, say, 4 to drop most filler words like “a”, “the”, and “of”.
