Find repeated words with a word frequency counter

How this is calculated

Frequency uses the same word segments as the main word total. Each segment is normalized for comparison and converted to lowercase before its occurrences are combined. Common words such as the, and, or a remain in the list. They're real parts of the text, and hiding them would change the question the panel answers. The tool doesn't combine related forms such as write, writes, and writing. It doesn't treat synonyms as one word either. The unique word total is the number of distinct normalized word segments, not a vocabulary score. Selecting a passage changes both the frequency list and the unique total to that passage.

Verdict

Use frequent words as prompts for an editing review. Repeated names or technical terms can make a passage easier to follow, so don't replace them only to lower their count. Check whether repeated filler, openings, or vague verbs are taking space without adding meaning. To compare particular words that don't appear in the top ten, put them in Words & phrases, one per line. That panel can also count a repeated phrase, which the individual word list can't show. Read the surrounding sentences before deciding what to change. Frequency measures repetition, while clarity depends on context.
