Frequently Asked Questions
What are stop words and why filter them? +
Stop words are common words like "the", "is", "and", "of" that appear frequently but carry little meaning. Filtering them reveals the more interesting content words in your text.
How is word frequency calculated? +
The tool splits your text on whitespace and punctuation, counts each unique word, and ranks them from most to least frequent. Ties are broken alphabetically.
Can I sort the results differently? +
Yes. Click the column headers to toggle between sorting by frequency (highest first) and sorting alphabetically (A-Z or Z-A).
Does the minimum word length filter count characters or letters? +
It counts the number of characters in the word after punctuation is stripped. Setting it to 3 will exclude words like "I", "an", and "or".
