Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, never stored, and we cannot see it. It disappears the moment you close the page.
What counts as a "common word"?
Common words (also called stop words) are very frequent function words like the, a, an, and, is, was, to, of, at, for, etc. These are usually fine to repeat — toggling them off lets you focus on content words like nouns, verbs, and adjectives that are worth varying.
Who is this tool useful for?
Writers, students, bloggers, journalists, copywriters, and anyone who wants to improve their writing. It's great for spotting crutch words, checking essays for variety, and proofreading any piece of writing before publishing.

No limit. The tool handles text of any length entirely in your browser, so you can check a short paragraph or an entire document.
