Which words dominate a text? A word frequency list shows it: it counts every word and sorts by frequency. That helps with writing (spotting repeated words), with text analysis, with learning vocabulary or with a quick sense of content - for example which terms stand out in an article.

The tool splits the text into words (letter and digit runs, including hyphenated and apostrophe words) and outputs a list of "count word", descending by frequency and alphabetical on ties - so the result is stable and reproducible. By default case is ignored, so "The" and "the" are counted together; that can be turned off.

The whole analysis runs entirely locally in your browser in pure JavaScript - your text is not uploaded, not stored, and no foreign library is loaded from a CDN. You can download the result as a text file or copy it straight out.

An honest note on how it counts: each word form is counted on its own, with no reduction to a base form - 'mouse' and 'mice' therefore count as two different words. Frequent function words such as 'the', 'a' and 'and' are not filtered out either, so they usually appear right at the top because of how often they occur.

In 3 steps

  1. Paste the text into the text field.
  2. Optionally turn case sensitivity back on.
  3. Read the frequency list or download it as a text file.

Limitations: A word is a run of letters and digits (with an inner hyphen or apostrophe). Words are split on whitespace; languages without word spacing (such as Chinese) cannot be counted meaningfully this way - there the whole sentence appears as a single "word". Punctuation separates words and is not counted. There is no stemming: "house" and "houses" count separately. The list contains all words, not only the most frequent.

FAQ

Is my text uploaded?

No. The analysis runs entirely locally in your browser; your text never leaves your device and is not stored.

How is the list sorted?

Descending by frequency; alphabetical on equal frequency. That makes the result unambiguous and reproducible.

Are "The" and "the" counted together?

By default yes (case ignored). Turn the option off to count them separately.

Are similar word forms merged?

No. There is no stemming; different forms like singular and plural are counted separately.
