About Remove duplicate words

Removes words that repeat within your text, keeping only the first appearance of each. Useful for tidying keyword lists or tag clouds written as one line. It is not a grammar fix, because normal sentences repeat words like the or and, so use it on lists rather than prose.

How to use Remove duplicate words

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Run the tool to delete words that appear more than once.
  3. Copy the shortened text.

Frequently asked questions

Will it ruin a normal paragraph?

Yes, because ordinary sentences reuse common words. Use it on lists of tags, names or keywords. For prose, a repeated-word checker that finds only back-to-back repeats is a better choice.

Is this good for editing sentences?

Not usually. It removes every repeat of a word, including normal ones like the or and, so sentences stop making sense. It suits word lists, tags and keyword lines.

Does capital letters matter?

Check the case setting. If case matters, Word and word count as different words. If it does not, the second one is treated as a repeat and removed.
