Word Frequency Analyzer

Rank single words, pairs and triples by how often they appear.

Quick Tool Overview

The Word Frequency Analyzer ranks single words, two-word phrases and three-word phrases together, because phrases say what a document is about in a way single words cannot. Stop words are filtered from the single-word list only, so real phrases survive intact.

About the Word Frequency Analyzer

Counting single words tells you which terms a text uses. Counting phrases tells you what it is about. "Content" and "marketing" appearing forty times each is a much weaker signal than "content marketing" appearing forty times as a phrase.

This analyses all three levels at once: single words, two-word phrases and three-word phrases, each ranked with counts and density. Stop words can be filtered out of the single-word list while being kept inside phrases, which matters because "return on investment" is a real phrase that stop word filtering would destroy. The result is the closest thing to an automatic summary of what a document actually discusses.

Key features of the Word Frequency Analyzer

Three n-gram levels

Single words, pairs and triples ranked together, since most real topics are phrases.

Stop words handled correctly

Filtered from single words but kept inside phrases, so "return on investment" survives.

Density percentages

Each term as a share of the total, which makes texts of different lengths comparable.

Minimum count filter

Hide the long tail of terms that appear once, which is most of any frequency list.

CSV export

Any table downloads straight to a spreadsheet for further work.

A run of n consecutive words. A unigram is one word, a bigram is two, a trigram is three. Phrase-level frequency is far more informative than single words for working out what a text is about.
