Frequently Asked Questions

What is word frequency analysis?

Word frequency analysis counts how often each unique word appears in a given text. It reveals which terms dominate your writing, helps identify overused filler words, checks keyword density for SEO, and highlights the main themes of a document. Common stop words like 'the' and 'and' are typically filtered out.

How does this word frequency counter work?

This tool tokenises your text into individual words, converts them to lowercase for accurate counting, filters out common stop words (the, and, is, of, etc.), and then ranks each unique word by its frequency of appearance. Results are displayed as a table showing each word, its count, and its percentage of the total.

What are stop words and why are they filtered out?

Stop words are common function words such as 'the', 'is', 'and', 'of', 'in', and 'to' that carry little standalone meaning. They are filtered out because they appear so frequently that they would dominate the frequency list without revealing anything about the text's actual content or themes.
