Find Duplicate Words in Text

Paste your text to list which words repeat and how often, and to catch accidental doubled words like 'the the'. Fold case and hide words that appear only once.

How to find duplicate words

  1. Paste or type your text into the box.
  2. Choose whether to ignore case and the minimum count to show.
  3. Review the repeated words and any consecutive doubles.

Examples

We we should fix the the typo.
Repeated: we (2), the (2). Consecutive: we we, the the.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a word?

Text is split on anything that is not a letter or number, so punctuation is ignored and 'cat.' and 'cat' are the same word.

Does case matter?

You choose. With case folding on, 'The' and 'the' count as the same word; with it off they are counted separately.

What is the minimum count filter?

It hides words that appear fewer times than the threshold. The default is 2, so words used only once are not listed.

What are consecutive duplicates?

These are immediate repeats such as 'the the', a common typo. They are reported separately from the overall counts.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
