Letter Frequency Analyzer

Kostenloser Buchstaben- und Zeichenfrequenz-Zähler. Zeigt Anzahl und Prozent jedes Buchstabens, mit Vergleich zu erwarteten englischen Häufigkeiten (E ~12,7%, T ~9,3%).

Wann verwenden

Use the letter frequency analyzer for cryptography puzzles (frequency analysis is the classic substitution-cipher attack), Wordle / Scrabble strategy, linguistic teaching, or for detecting unusual content distributions.

Vergleich

Letter frequency is character-level analysis; Word Frequency is word-level. The two reveal very different things — letter frequency exposes the language; word frequency exposes the content.

So funktioniert es

Each character in the text is counted. The tool reports counts and percentages, sorted by frequency.

For English baseline mode, the table includes expected frequencies (E ~12.7%, T ~9.3%, A ~8.0%) and the deviation.

Letters with disproportionately high deviations may indicate non-English text, technical vocabulary, or unusual content.

Häufige Fragen

What is letter frequency analysis for?

Cryptography (breaking substitution ciphers), Wordle/Scrabble strategy, linguistic teaching, content-type detection.

Why English baseline?

English letter frequencies are stable (E ~12.7%, T ~9.3%, A ~8.0%). Deviations from baseline suggest unusual content or non-English text.

Should I include punctuation?

Off by default — punctuation and digits can swamp letter counts. Toggle on for a complete character analysis.

Beispiel

Eingabe

A short English passage.

Ausgabe

E: 12.4% (expected 12.7%) · T: 9.0% (9.3%) · A: 8.5% (8.0%) — normal English distribution.

English letter frequencies are remarkably consistent: E is always around 12-13%, T around 9%, A around 8%. Deviations suggest unusual content (technical jargon, proper nouns, or non-English text).

Häufige Fehler

  • Expected frequencies are language-specific — change the baseline for non-English text.
  • Short samples (< 200 chars) deviate widely from expected.
  • Punctuation and digits can swamp letter counts — toggle them off for a clean letter analysis.
  • Case-insensitive comparison is appropriate for most analyses.
