Free Specific Word Counter
Find out exactly how many times a word or phrase appears in your text. This targeted word counter is ideal for checking keyword usage, verifying repetition, or making sure a phrase appears the number of times you intended.
How to Use
Paste your text, then type the word or phrase you want to count. The count updates live. Toggle whole-word matching to avoid counting a term inside a longer word, and case sensitivity to control whether "Word" and "word" are treated the same.
- Count a single word or a multi-word phrase
- Whole-word matching to avoid partial hits
- Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
- See the count, density %, and surrounding context
Why count a specific word?
Writers, students, and marketers often need to know how often a term appears — to avoid over-using a word, to confirm a required phrase is present, or to measure keyword density for SEO. A targeted counter is far more precise than skimming.
