Data & method notes

Only letters A–Z are counted; spaces, digits and punctuation are ignored, and case is folded together. Percentages are of the total letter count. See the methodology page.

Frequently asked questions

What does the letter frequency counter measure?

It counts how many times each letter A–Z appears in your text and shows the share of the total, ignoring spaces, numbers and punctuation.

Is it case-sensitive?

No. Upper and lower case are counted together, so “A” and “a” both add to the same letter.

What is this useful for?

Cryptography and cipher puzzles, checking a pangram uses every letter, linguistics exercises, and settling arguments about which letters are most common.
