Paste any text and this tool lists every distinct word with the number of times it appears and its share of the total, sorted from most to least frequent. A bar beside each word makes the distribution easy to read at a glance.
Writers use it to catch overused words, SEO editors to check keyword density, students and researchers to analyse speeches, interviews and survey answers, and language learners to build vocabulary lists. Export the full table as a CSV for Excel or Google Sheets. The analysis stays on your device.

Using word frequency for better writing and SEO
If a word other than a topic keyword sits near the top of the list, you are probably repeating it; look for synonyms or rephrase. Filler words such as “very”, “really” and “just” are common culprits.
For search engines, a natural mention of your main topic and related terms matters far more than an exact keyword percentage. A keyword with a share above 3–4% of all counted words often reads as forced. Lexical diversity (unique words divided by counted words) gives a rough idea of how varied the vocabulary is; it naturally falls as texts get longer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find the most repeated words in a text?
Paste the text and look at the top of the table. With Exclude common words on, the list shows meaningful words first.
Which words are excluded as common words?
About 140 frequent English function words such as articles, pronouns, prepositions and auxiliary verbs (the, a, and, is, of, to, you, it…). Turn the option off to count them too.
Can I open the result in Excel?
Yes. Export CSV downloads a UTF-8 CSV file with rank, word, count and share columns that opens in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets.
Does it work for languages other than English?
Counting works for any language that separates words with spaces. The common-word filter is English only, so turn it off for other languages.
