About Word Frequency
Free text analysis and word frequency tools
Word Frequency helps writers, students, teachers, researchers, editors, and language learners understand how words are used in English text. Paste a paragraph, article, essay, transcript, or study excerpt and get a clear breakdown of word frequency, word count, character count, sentence count, lemmas, and part-of-speech tags.
The main analyzer is built for quick linguistic insight: it ranks repeated words, calculates percentages, groups terms by lemma when useful, and shows visual summaries such as charts and word clouds. It also includes keyword-in-context examples so you can see how a word appears inside the original sentence, not only as a number in a table.
What the Word Frequency Analyzer shows
- Word frequency rankings with occurrence counts and percentage of text.
- Total words, characters with spaces, characters without spaces, and sentence count.
- Lemmas, helping related word forms appear with their base form.
- Part-of-speech (POS) classification for words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
- POS breakdown when the same word appears with different grammatical roles.
- Keyword-in-context (KWIC) examples that show each word inside nearby text.
- Options to include numbers and expand common English contractions before analysis.
- Word frequency charts and a downloadable word cloud for visual exploration.
POS tags and keyword-in-context examples
“She left early, taking a turn at the next left, leaving behind her left glove on the chair.”
In this example, left can appear as a verb, noun, or adjective. The analyzer can separate these uses and show context lines for each occurrence.
This makes the result easier to interpret when a word has more than one grammatical function.
Charts, word clouds, and visual summaries
Frequency tables are useful for precise reading, while charts and word clouds make patterns easier to scan. Larger words in the cloud appear more often in the analyzed text, and the chart helps compare the most frequent terms at a glance.
Example texts for faster testing
The home page includes example text buttons for common categories such as news, academic writing, paragraphs, story excerpts, and mixed text. Each button can load a sample so you can test the analyzer quickly or compare how different writing styles affect word frequency and POS distribution.
