Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to count the number of words in a document?
Write or copy/paste a text into the textarea and the counter will automatically count the number of words, their number of letters (length/size). It is possible to count manually the occurrences of each word, but it is still easier when the computer counts!
Example: MORE WORDS AND WORDS COUNTING has 5 words, 4 distinct, and 4 words with at least 4 letters. The word WORDS is present twice while the other words are present only once.
It is possible to indicate a length threshold from which to count a word, for example to ignore words of 1 or 2 letters.
What is the occurrence frequency of a word?
The frequency of appearance of words is a statistical index that is defined by the ratio of the number of occurrences of a given word out of the total number of words in a text. It can, for example, allow to list the most common words, the keywords of a text.
There are advanced tools for analyzing bigrams or trigrams in a text, often for cryptographic purposes.
