Frequently asked
What counts as a "word" here?
Runs of letters (including apostrophes, so contractions like "don't" stay whole). Numbers and punctuation-only tokens aren't counted as words.
What are stopwords, and why would I ignore them?
Stopwords are extremely common words, like "the", "a", and "of", that carry little topical meaning on their own. Ignoring them helps the frequency list highlight the words that actually say something about the text's content.
Does case-sensitivity matter?
With case-sensitivity off (the default), "Word" and "word" are counted together. Turn it on if you want capitalization to matter, for example when comparing proper nouns to common nouns.
Is there a limit to how many words are shown?
The list shows up to the top 30 most frequent words, sorted from most to least common.
