About the Word & Phrase Frequency Counter

We built this tool to give writers, marketers, and SEO specialists a simple way to analyze text. It quickly counts how often words and phrases appear in your content, helping you understand your writing better. You can use it to check for overused words, analyze keyword density for SEO, or just get a better sense of your writing style. The tool breaks down the analysis into single words, two-word phrases (bigrams), and three-word phrases (trigrams) for a complete picture.

How to Use the Tool

  • Paste your text into the main text area.
  • Use the options to customize the analysis. You can choose to make it case-sensitive, ignore common "stop words," and set a minimum length and frequency for the results.
  • Click the "Analyze Text" button.
  • The results will appear below, neatly organized into columns for 1, 2, and 3-word phrases, sorted by the most frequent. Each entry shows the count and its percentage of the total.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a word frequency counter?

A word frequency counter is a tool that reads a piece of text and calculates how many times each word appears. Our tool takes this a step further by also counting the frequency of common two-word and three-word phrases, which gives you deeper insight into the text's structure and topics.

How is this useful for SEO?

Understanding word and phrase frequency is essential for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It helps you check your keyword density to ensure you're using your target keywords enough, but not too much (which can lead to penalties). Analyzing bigrams and trigrams also helps you identify important long-tail keywords and related topics within your content.

What are "stop words"?

"Stop words" are common words that search engines and text analysis tools often ignore because they don't carry much meaning. This includes words like "the," "a," "is," "in," and "on." By enabling the "Ignore Stop Words" option (which is on by default), you get a much cleaner and more meaningful list of your text's most important terms.

What are bigrams and trigrams?

They are simply sequences of words. A bigram is a two-word phrase (e.g., "red car"), and a trigram is a three-word phrase (e.g., "a red car"). Analyzing these is very powerful because single keywords are often not enough; understanding the phrases people use gives you a much better picture of the content's topic and focus.

Is my text kept private?

Yes, absolutely. The entire analysis process happens in your web browser. Your text is never sent to our servers, so your content remains completely private and secure.
