About this tool

Paste any text and see which words appear most — the tool builds a ranked table of every word with its count and its share of the total as a percentage, and shows the total word count and how many distinct words there are. It is useful for checking keyword density in copy, spotting overused words while editing, or analyzing the vocabulary of an article or transcript. Advanced options let you ignore common stop-words, set a minimum word length, and toggle case.

What people use it for
