How to interpret word frequency
A frequency count shows how often a word appears in the supplied text. It can help identify repeated terms, themes or words that dominate a draft. Common words such as “the”, “and” or “to” may appear frequently without being meaningful keywords, so consider whether stop words should be ignored for your particular analysis.
Use counts as an editing aid
- Check whether different forms of a word are counted separately.
- Review punctuation, hyphens and capitalisation in the source text.
- Compare repeated terms with the purpose and audience of the writing.
- Do not add keywords unnaturally just to increase a frequency count.
Frequency is a descriptive statistic, not a measure of writing quality, relevance or search ranking. Read the surrounding sentences before changing a repeated word.
