Write Word's Word Frequency Counter counts how many times you use each word in an essay or any chunk of text. So now it's easier to identify whether or not you overuse certain words - words we teachers like to call tired words because they are words we need to give a rest in our writing. Look out for the common culprits, like "said," "good," "happy," and "nice." Or scan for your own personal go-to word. The online tool is simple: Paste or type in your text in the box provided, and click submit.
