Find repeated words in your writing
Repetition weakens writing, and doubled words like "the the" slip past even careful proofreaders. Repeated Word Counter lists every word you've used more than once and highlights accidental consecutive duplicates.
Example
Text: "We saw the the cat and the dog. Dog ran."
| Word | Count |
|---|---|
| the | 3 |
| dog | 2 |
Consecutive duplicates: "the the"
Why it's useful
- Proofreading: doubled words are easy to miss because the brain auto-corrects while reading.
- Style: spot words you lean on too often (just, really, actually, very).
- Essays and applications: make every word count within word limits.
- SEO copy: avoid keyword stuffing.
- Speeches: catch repeated phrases that sound awkward aloud.
Tips for reducing repetition
- Replace repeated adjectives with more precise ones.
- Use pronouns or restructure sentences instead of repeating nouns.
- Delete filler words entirely; they rarely add meaning.
- Read the text aloud; repetition is easier to hear than to see.
