Annotated sample
19 words → «the»×4, «fox»×3, «dog»×2 — with common words hidden, «fox» ranks first.
How words are tokenized
Text is lowercased and split on anything that isn't a letter, mark or number — hyphenated words (well-known) and apostrophes (don't) stay whole. Chinese, Japanese and Thai text is segmented with the browser's dictionary segmenter instead, so no-space scripts get real words, not whole clauses. Counting is exact and happens entirely in your browser. Try the annotated sample below to see the rules applied.
Reading the results honestly
«Hide common words» removes function words (the, and, of …) from ranked results using a per-language stopword list — it changes what's on top, not what was counted. Repeated phrases finds exact 2–4-word sequences; near-duplicates («fast tool» vs «faster tool») stay separate — this tool doesn't guess relevance or stem words, and there's no scoring beyond the raw counts. For search-intent phrasing, the Keyword Extractor applies an AI pass; this page stays deterministic.
Who uses word frequency — and how to act on it
Writers hunt overused words (any content word above ~2% of a short text reads repetitive — swap synonyms or cut); SEO editors compare their draft's top terms against the intended topic; teachers check vocabulary range; researchers export the CSV (button under the table) into a spreadsheet for coding. Word counts come from the same engine as the Word Counter.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, stored, or logged.
What counts as a word?
Sequences of letters or digits, including hyphenated and apostrophe forms (well-known, don't). Case is ignored, so The and the count together.
Why check word frequency?
Repeated words are the fastest signal of wordy or monotonous prose, and SEO writers use frequency to check a page doesn't over-repeat a keyword. The phrase table catches repeated two-word patterns you stopped noticing.
Can I export the results?
Yes — Copy as CSV puts the top 100 words with counts and percentages on your clipboard, ready to paste into a spreadsheet.
Does a high frequency mean a word is important?
Not necessarily. Keyword density here is simply a word or phrase’s occurrence share: its count divided by the words or phrases counted in your text. It does not judge relevance, content quality or ranking potential, use external keyword metrics, or recommend a target percentage. Use the table to notice repetition, then judge every term in context.
