How to Use the Duplicate Word Detector
The Duplicate Word Detector catches typos like "really really nice" where the same word was accidentally typed twice in a row. These slip-ups are common when editing a long draft — a word gets left behind after a sentence is rewritten — and they're surprisingly easy to miss just by skimming.
Paste your text in and the tool splits it into individual words, then compares each word to the one right next to it. The comparison ignores capitalization and strips punctuation like commas and periods first, so cases like "word, word." are still caught correctly.
Every duplicate found is listed with its position in the text, so you can jump straight to the spot that needs fixing even in a long document. It's a useful last pass before publishing a blog post, report, or email.
