Word Frequency Counter
Free word frequency counter - see top words and counts to spot repetition in drafts and SEO copy.
About the Word Frequency Counter
This free word frequency counter shows which words appear most often in a block of text. Writers, editors, and SEO specialists use it to spot accidental repetition, overused filler, or a primary term that barely shows up where it should.
Paste an article, product description, or brief, choose how many top words to show, and scan the ranked list. Unlike a simple word counter (total volume), this tool ranks terms by how often they appear.
When frequency analysis helps
- Finding repeated words that make copy sound stiff or spammy
- Checking whether a target phrase appears enough times in a draft (without stuffing)
- Comparing two versions of a page after a rewrite
- Cleaning interview transcripts or notes before editing
How to use
- Paste clean text (plain paste from Word/Docs when possible).
- Set Top N to the number of ranked words you want to review.
- Run Analyze and scan the highest counts first.
- Edit the draft, then re-run to confirm repetition dropped.
Tips
- Common words (the, and, of) often dominate - focus on content words that matter to the topic.
- For SEO density of one phrase, also use the Keyword Density Checker.
- Remove boilerplate nav/footer text before pasting so UI chrome does not skew counts.
- Pair with the Word Counter when you also need total words and characters.
FAQ
Is this the same as keyword density? Related, but density usually focuses on one target phrase as a percentage. Frequency ranking shows the whole vocabulary surface of the text.
Are counts case-sensitive? Treat the list as a practical overview; normalize casing in your draft if you need exact matching rules for a CMS.
