Frequently asked questions
Which copy of a repeated word is kept?
The first occurrence is kept and every later identical word is removed, so the original order stays intact.
How are words split?
Words are separated by spaces, tabs and line breaks. A run of non-space characters is one word, so attached punctuation stays with it.
Does it count punctuation as part of a word?
Yes. 'cat' and 'cat,' are treated as different words because the comma is attached, so only exact matches are removed.
Can it ignore capitalization?
Yes. Enable case-insensitive matching and 'The' and 'the' are treated as the same word, while the first casing is kept.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
