Essay and article editing
Spot words that recur across a draft, then read each occurrence in context before deciding whether to revise it.

Review repetition worth your attention
Choose how often, how long, and how close a word must be before it is flagged. This tool only highlights and reports; it never deletes or rewrites.
Review range and matching options
Ignore capitalization
Treat Quiet and quiet as the same word for this review.
Ignore Latin accents
Treat café and cafe as the same word for this review.
Apostrophes and hyphens stay inside words. Punctuation and emoji act as boundaries. Filters change only this review, never the source text.
Original text

When repetition needs review, not automatic removal
Use the finder for prose where repeated wording may be accidental, intentional, or necessary and every change needs human judgment.
Reports and long-form documents
Filter short or common words so the review can focus on repeated terminology that may distract a reader.
Paragraph and proximity checks
Narrow the review to repetitions in the same paragraph or within a chosen word window instead of flagging every document-wide match.
Example: inspect a repeated word in context
The finder groups qualifying whole words and reports them without producing an edited version of the draft.
The hallway was quiet. Mara crossed the quiet house.
The quiet felt deliberate, so she stopped at the door.quiet — 3 occurrences
"crossed the quiet house"
"The quiet felt deliberate"Selecting a result highlights its qualifying positions; the original text is never rewritten.
How it works
- 1
Add the draft you want to review
Paste text or open one supported TXT or Markdown file. The source stays visible as the unchanged review document.
- 2
Set the repetition threshold
Choose minimum occurrences and word length, hide common English words, add ignored terms, and select Anywhere, Paragraph, or Word window.
- 3
Inspect words, positions, and context
Select a repeated word to highlight qualifying occurrences, read nearby context, and copy or download the complete TSV summary.
How the repetition review is scoped
Filters determine what is flagged for review. They never delete text or recommend an automatic replacement.
Frequency and word length
A word appears in the sidebar only when it meets both the minimum occurrence and minimum length settings.
Anywhere, paragraph, or word window
Review all document-wide repetitions, matches sharing a paragraph, or occurrences close enough to fit the selected word distance.
Common and custom ignored words
Hide the built-in common English-word set and add project-specific terms that are expected to repeat in the current draft.
File, display, and report limits
The complete source stays in the input area, while dense interactive result surfaces are deliberately bounded.
- One local file, up to 1 MB
- TXT and Markdown files are accepted, with an input cap of 1,000,000 characters. Structured CSV is not supported.
- Bounded interactive results
- The sidebar shows up to 100 repeated words, with up to 200 highlights and 50 context excerpts for the selected word.
- Complete summary export
- Copy and Download use the complete TSV repetition summary. The report contains counts and distances, not the original draft or context text.
Private draft, local analysis
Pasted drafts and supported file contents are analyzed in your browser and are not uploaded to find repeated words.
Production may collect limited page and workflow telemetry, but draft text, highlighted words, context, file names, file contents, and custom ignored words are not sent as Analytics fields.
Review the Privacy Policy for the complete telemetry and data-handling boundary.
Frequently asked questions
Will the finder delete or rewrite repeated words?
No. It only reports and highlights repetition. The original text remains unchanged so you can make each editorial decision yourself.
What is the difference between Anywhere and Paragraph?
Anywhere reviews repetition across the whole input. Paragraph requires qualifying occurrences to share a paragraph.
What does Word window mean?
It flags a word when enough occurrences fall within the maximum word distance you choose, which helps surface nearby repetition.
Are custom ignored words private?
Yes. They are used only for the in-browser analysis and are not sent as Analytics fields.
What is included in the downloaded report?
The TSV contains each repeated word, its total occurrences, qualifying occurrences for the selected range, and closest word distance. It does not contain the original draft.
