Word frequency analysis counts how often each distinct word appears in a body of text, then ranks them from most to least common. It is one of the oldest and most useful techniques in text analysis, used in linguistics to study style and vocabulary, in SEO to check keyword density, in content review to catch overused words, and in research to summarize what a document is really about. Raw frequency counts are usually dominated by function words like "the," "of" and "is," which appear constantly in any English text but carry little topical meaning. That is why stop word filtering matters: removing that noise reveals the content words that actually define the subject of the text. A minimum word length filter serves a similar purpose in a simpler way, since very short words are disproportionately likely to be filler. Percentages, rather than raw counts alone, make it possible to compare frequency patterns across texts of different lengths on equal footing, which is why this tool always shows both.
Stop words target specific common words; a length filter is a blunter but useful backup when you want to skip typing a custom list.
Turning on case-sensitive counting treats "Fox" and "fox" as different words, useful for checking proper nouns or acronyms.
A word appearing 10 times in a 50-word text is far more dominant than 10 times in a 5,000-word text.
Paste or type text into the box. The tool splits it into words, counts how many times each one appears, and lists them from most to least frequent along with the percentage of the total.
Stop words are extremely common words like the, a, is and and. Ignoring them helps surface the more meaningful, distinctive words in a piece of text.
It excludes any word shorter than the number you set, which is useful for filtering out short filler words without relying on a fixed stop word list.
