Word Frequency Counter

Analyze the frequency of every word in your text

Enter some text to analyze

Why Use This Tool?

  • Analyze word frequency distribution in any text with a real-time sorted table.
  • Filter out common stop words to focus on meaningful content words.
  • Useful for SEO analysis, writing improvement, and content optimization.

How It Works

Word frequency percentage is calculated as (word_count / total_words) × 100. The tool tokenizes text by splitting on whitespace, then counts occurrences of each unique word. Stop words can be filtered using a predefined list of common function words.

How to Use

  1. Type or paste your text in the input area
  2. The word frequency table updates in real time
  3. Toggle options: case-insensitive mode, exclude common words

FAQ

What are common words (stop words)?

Common words include articles (the, a, an), prepositions (in, on, at), and conjunctions (and, but, or). Excluding them helps focus on the meaningful words in your text.

How is the percentage calculated?

The percentage shows how often each word appears relative to the total number of words in your text. For example, if "hello" appears 5 times out of 100 words, it shows 5%.

Does it support languages other than English?

Yes, the counter works with any language that separates words by spaces. For languages like Chinese or Japanese that do not use spaces, word boundaries may not be detected correctly.

Can I sort the results by word or by count?

The results are sorted by frequency (count) in descending order by default. The most frequently used words appear at the top of the table.

Does the tool filter out common words like "the" and "is"?

Yes. Common stop words (the, is, a, an, and, or, etc.) are excluded by default so you can focus on meaningful content words. The stop word list covers the most common English function words.
