Questions people ask
Is the count case sensitive?
No. The and the are counted together, and shown in lower case.
What is the percentage?
The word's count divided by all counted words, after the skip and length options are applied.
Is the common-word list only English?
Yes. For other languages, leave it off and use the shortest-word option instead.
Does it help with keyword density?
It shows how often each word occurs, which is the starting point. Writing for people matters more than hitting a percentage.
Does it count phrases?
No, only single words.
