Frequently Asked Questions
How do I count how many times a word appears?
Paste your text into the box above. The output lists every word with the number of times it appears, for example "the: 12". Words with the same count are listed in alphabetical order.
Is it case sensitive?
No. Words are lowercased before counting, so "Apple" and "apple" are counted as the same word. Punctuation at the start or end of a word, such as commas and quotes, is ignored.
Can I use it to check keyword density?
Yes. Paste your article and check how often your main keyword and related words appear. Common words such as "the", "and" and "of" will usually be at the top, so look further down the list for topic words.
Does it work with Hindi text?
Yes. Words in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and other scripts are counted correctly, including vowel signs, because words are split on spaces.
How do I paste the result into Excel or Google Sheets?
Copy the output and paste it into a column. Each word is on its own line in the form "word: count". Use Data > Split text to columns with ":" as the separator to put words and counts in separate columns.
How do I get the total word count?
Use the Text Analysis tool for total words, characters, sentences and reading time.
