Paste your text to see which words and phrases you repeat, how often, and where. Click a word in the list and every use of it lights up in your text.
Paste your text into the box on the left. The words you repeat are listed on the right straight away, most used first, with how many times each one appears and what share of your text it takes up.

A word you use ten times in a long article is fine. The same word three times in two sentences is what a reader notices. That is why the tool also underlines every word that comes back within 20 words of its last use, and puts a wavy line under slips like the the, where a word has been typed twice.
Switch to 2-word or 3-word phrases to catch the stock expressions you lean on. Common words such as the, and and of are left out unless you untick Ignore common words.
Tick List every word, not only repeats, and the list becomes a full word frequency count: every word in the text, how often it appears and its density as a percentage. Useful for keyword density on a web page, for checking an essay against a word you were told to avoid, or for a quick look at what a document is actually about.

The word has come back within 20 words of the last time you used it, which is the kind of repetition a reader notices. You can change the distance in the box next to Flag repeats within, or set it to 0 to turn the underlining off.
Yes. Tick List every word, not only repeats, and you get every word in the text with its count and its density as a percentage of all the words. Copy list puts it on the clipboard as three columns that paste straight into a spreadsheet.
