Find the words a draft keeps reaching for

Paste a draft to see every word ranked by how often it appears. Case and punctuation are ignored, so “Clear” and “clear” count together. Common function words such as “the” and “and” stay in the list: their presence is often the point. Use the result to spot a repeated subject, a favourite adjective, or a paragraph circling one idea.

How to use this workbench

  1. Paste your text or load the example.
  2. Choose any options that apply to your task.
  3. Read the result, then copy it or download a text file. Your input stays available until you clear it or leave the page.

Frequently asked questions

Does my text leave my browser?

No. Processing happens in a local browser worker. The tool makes no request containing your draft.

Can I upload a document?

Use Import .txt to read a UTF-8 plain-text file locally. Word documents and PDFs are not supported. Copy their text into the input instead. Each field accepts up to 200,000 characters.

Will the result replace my original?

No transformation automatically overwrites your input. Check the output before copying it. Grammar and spelling suggestions change the input only when you choose to apply them.

Make the next edit count

Read the result in context. If the text needs another pass, try the word counter, text cleaner, or readability checker.
