Word Frequency Counter

Every writer has crutch words — and every text has a vocabulary fingerprint. Our free Word Frequency Counter reveals it: paste any text and get a ranked table of every word with its count and percentage, sorted from most to least used. One toggle filters out stop words like 'the' and 'of' so the words that actually carry meaning rise to the top.

For writers and editors, the table exposes repetition you stop seeing after the third draft ('just', 'really', 'very'). For SEO work it doubles as a keyword density checker, showing whether a target phrase appears at a sensible rate or veers into stuffing. Students and researchers use it for quick textual analysis without firing up Python.

Counting is case-insensitive and punctuation-aware, handles book-length input instantly, and — like every Quill tool — runs entirely in your browser, so unpublished manuscripts stay unpublished. Combine it with the Word Counter for totals and reading time, or clean the input first with the Text Cleaner.
