About this tool
This tool slides through your text three words at a time and lists any three-word phrase that appears more than once, ignoring case and punctuation. Repeating phrases are easy to miss when reading, but they stand out in a list. Use it to tighten drafts and catch copied or overused wording.
Frequently asked questions
Why three words and not two?
Three words are specific enough to be meaningful, while two-word pairs repeat constantly in ordinary writing and would flood the results.
Does punctuation break a phrase?
No. Edge punctuation is stripped and case is ignored, so a phrase counts even if it ends a sentence in one place and continues in another.
