Word Frequency Analyzer

Word frequency analysis examines how often each word appears in a text. It helps identify the most commonly used words, reveals writing patterns, assists in content optimization, supports SEO keyword research, and can reveal overused words that might need variation for better readability.

The tool splits the text into individual words, normalizes them by converting to lowercase, removes punctuation, and counts each occurrence. It then calculates the percentage frequency based on total word count and ranks words from most to least frequent.

You can choose to include or exclude common stop words (like "the", "and", "is"), set minimum word length filters, choose case sensitivity, and select how many top words to display in the results. These options help focus the analysis on meaningful content words.

Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is", "in" that appear frequently but carry little meaning for content analysis. Excluding them reveals more meaningful patterns and content-specific vocabulary. Include them if you're studying general language patterns or writing style.

Analyze your content to ensure target keywords appear with appropriate frequency, identify overused words that might indicate thin content, discover related terms you might be missing, check keyword density for SEO optimization, and compare word usage across different pieces of content.

Yes, the tool works with any language that uses spaces to separate words. However, the built-in stop words list is designed for English. For other languages, you may want to disable stop word filtering or the results might not filter out common words specific to that language.

Percentage frequency shows what portion of the total text each word represents. For example, if a word appears 10 times in a 100-word text, its frequency is 10%. This helps compare word importance regardless of text length and identify proportionally significant terms.

Look for content words (non-stop words) with surprisingly high frequencies. If common adjectives, verbs, or nouns appear too frequently, consider using synonyms or varying your vocabulary. A diverse vocabulary typically shows more even distribution among content words.

You can copy the results from the display table, which shows words, frequencies, and percentages in an organized format. This data can be pasted into spreadsheets, documents, or other applications for further analysis, reporting, or comparison with other texts.

The minimum word length filter excludes very short words (like "a", "I", "to") that might not be relevant for your analysis. Setting it to 3+ characters focuses on more substantial words, while setting it to 1 includes all words. Adjust based on your analysis goals.

The analysis is highly accurate for counting exact word matches. However, it treats different forms of the same word (like "run" and "running") as separate words. For advanced linguistic analysis requiring stemming or lemmatization, you might need specialized tools, but this provides excellent baseline analysis.

While this tool analyzes one text at a time, you can copy results for multiple texts and compare them manually. The percentage frequencies are particularly useful for comparison since they normalize for text length differences, allowing fair comparison between texts of different sizes.
