Features and how to use them
Understand the word counts
Count letter and number groups while keeping accents and diacritics.
How words are measured
Letters and numbers form word groups. Unicode combining marks stay with the word; canonical equivalent spellings are normalized to NFC. Counting ignores letter case but preserves accents and diacritics. Internal straight and curly apostrophes stay in their spelling and remain distinct from each other. Hyphens and other punctuation split groups. Numbers are included. Unspaced writing uses groups, not dictionary segmentation.
A clear frequency overview
Review total word groups, unique words, and words used once.
Reading the totals
Totals come from the source text used for the analysis. Each proportion is the number of occurrences divided by all counted words; searches and sorting never change that denominator.
- Input
Clear writing helps. Clear writing matters. Clear ideas help.
- Result
9 words / 6 unique words clear: 3 (33.33%) writing: 2 (22.22%)
Ranked words with proportions
Search words, change the sort order and explore the result in pages of 50 rows.
Finding and comparing words
The default ranking puts the most frequent words first, with deterministic spelling order for ties. Other orders include least frequent and alphabetical. Proportion bars represent the actual share of all counted words.
Complete reports and an editable text summary
Choose HTML, CSV or JSON for every unique word, or TXT for an editable top-100 summary.
Choosing a report format
Reports include all rows even while the table is filtered or on another page. HTML is a self-contained printable report. CSV uses UTF-8 with a BOM and quotes/neutralizes formula-leading text. JSON preserves exact tokens and numerical shares. The TXT summary lists up to 100 words and shortens unusually long tokens; complete exports retain them.
Revise the text and run it again
Keep source text separate from your report notes.
Updating an analysis
The report describes the source used when you selected Count words. Editing Text summary changes only the copyable TXT summary. Back to editor returns to the source; run Count words again after changing it to produce fresh counts and reports.
Files, limits and privacy

FAQ
Good to know
Do search and sorting change the counts?
No. Totals and proportions always describe the complete source text. Searching only filters the visible rows, and full report exports include every unique word.
How are words counted?
The counter groups Unicode letters and numbers, keeps combining marks and internal apostrophes, and ignores letter case. Accents remain significant. Hyphens and other punctuation split groups; numbers count too. This is not dictionary segmentation for writing without spaces.
Can I edit and download the result?
Yes. Open Text summary to edit or copy the compact TXT result. Those edits do not change the analysis. To update the counts, edit the source and run the counter again. HTML, CSV and JSON exports contain the full analysis.
How much text can I analyze?
Use up to 1 MB of source text. Results are paginated for a responsive page, while complete report downloads include every unique word and may be larger than 1 MB.
