Repeated phrase finder
Repeated phrases make writing feel padded. Paste a draft to see the multi-word phrases and whole sentences that appear more than once, with a count for each.
Phrases made only of small words like “of the” are skipped. Shorter phrases inside a longer repeat with the same count are not listed again.
How it works
- Paste your text.
- Set the shortest and longest phrase and how many repeats count.
- Read the list and edit your draft.
Phrases
The tool looks for runs of 3 to 6 words by default, which you can change. A phrase inside a longer repeat with the same count is not listed twice.
Small words
Phrases made only of small words like “of the” or “and the” are skipped, because they are not useful.
Repeated sentences
Sentences that appear twice or more are listed separately, ignoring case and the final punctuation mark.
Using the list
Repeats are fine when they are a deliberate refrain. Otherwise cut or reword them.
Questions
Does it find similar but not identical phrases?
No. It finds exact repeats of words, ignoring case.
Does it work for other languages?
It works best for languages that separate words with spaces and use the Latin alphabet.
