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.
