About this tool
Paste in any passage and this tool counts every word, works out how many are unique, and ranks the most frequent words. It ignores case and strips punctuation, so The and the count as the same word. It is handy for editing, studying a text, or checking whether you are repeating a word too often.
Frequently asked questions
Does it count The and the as the same word?
Yes. Words are lowercased and punctuation at the edges is stripped before counting, so capitalisation does not split a word into two entries.
Does it count numbers as words?
Yes, a number separated by spaces counts as a word, because the tool splits on whitespace.
