Word counter and repetitions
Count your words and find recurring words directly in your browser.
Give it a try
Start with the example or add your own text. Run the tool, then copy or download the result to keep working on it.
How to use it
Paste your text. The counter distinguishes words, characters and sentences, then ranks words appearing at least twice. Common grammatical words are excluded from repetitions.
Make the result your own
Use the numbers to guide your rereading. Inflected forms are counted separately and an abbreviation can affect the sentence count: reread words in context to decide what to adjust.
Find the words that carry your voice
A recurring word can create a motif, a voice or deliberate emphasis. Frequencies help you find passages to reread and choose the words you want to keep. To explore their effect on the story, try narrative analysis.
