Open Word CounterFrequently Asked Questions
What is vocabulary richness?
Vocabulary richness (also called lexical diversity) is the ratio of unique words to total words, expressed as a percentage. Higher percentages indicate more varied vocabulary.
Should I exclude common words from the analysis?
For most purposes, yes. Common words (articles, prepositions, pronouns) dominate any text. Excluding them reveals the meaningful content words and helps you spot true repetition.
