About This Calculator

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stop word?
Stop words are very common words (the, a, and, of) that carry little content. Ignoring them helps surface the meaningful keywords in your text.
Is the count case-sensitive?
No — words are counted case-insensitively, so "The" and "the" count as the same word.
