Word Frequency Counter

Find the most frequently used words in any block of text.

What is the Free Word Frequency Counter?

The free Word Frequency Counter processes any text you paste in and produces a ranked table of every unique word with its count and density %. The results can be copied as a tab-separated table (word → count → density) in one click. Authors, researchers, and SEO professionals use it to spot repetition, find dominant themes, and clean up vocabulary.

  • Identify overused words in an essay or report and replace them with synonyms.
  • Analyse a competitor's content to understand its vocabulary and themes.
  • Find the most common words in customer feedback or survey responses.
  • Cross-check that important keywords appear frequently enough in SEO content.
