Find your most repeated two- and three-word phrases. Spot overused expressions and filler patterns that single-word counters miss.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are bigrams and trigrams?
- A bigram is any sequence of two consecutive words ("in addition"), and a trigram is three consecutive words ("on the other"). Counting them reveals repeated multi-word expressions that a single-word frequency counter cannot see.
- Why do only some phrases appear in the tables?
- The tables show the top 15 two-word and top 15 three-word phrases that appear at least twice. Phrases used only once are not repetition, so they are left out.
- What does the stop-phrase filter do?
- When enabled, it hides phrases made up entirely of common function words like "of the" or "and it was". These are frequent in all English text and usually are not the repetition you care about. Phrases containing at least one content word always stay visible.
- How much repetition is too much?
- There is no fixed rule. Repeating a key technical term is fine and often necessary; repeating a filler phrase like "it is important to note" many times reads as padding. Use the counts to decide which repetitions are deliberate and which to rephrase.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Counting happens entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server or stored.
