Word Counter

What it does

This word counter uses `Intl.Segmenter` when the browser provides it, so word boundaries come from language-aware segmentation instead of a plain split on spaces or punctuation.

That matters for languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Thai, where meaningful words may not be separated by spaces. The frequency list shows which words appear most often in the text.

Common uses

• Count words and characters in drafts, snippets, translations, labels, and documentation text.
• Check non-English text where whitespace-based word counters can undercount or overcount.
• Inspect the top word frequencies to see repeated terms without scanning the whole text.
• Leave common-word filtering on when you want rankings to focus on more meaningful terms.

Watch outs

• Character count uses grapheme clusters when available, so emoji and combined characters are treated like visible characters.
• Different engines can update language segmentation data over time, but `Intl.Segmenter` is still a better default than splitting on spaces.
• Word frequencies are case-insensitive, so repeated words with different capitalization are grouped together.
• Common-word filtering uses a built-in multilingual list. It catches many frequent function words, but it is not exhaustive for every language or domain.
