This tool scans any block of text and ranks its longest words by character count, longest first. It is useful for spotting unusually long or technical terms, checking readability, finding tongue-twisters and reviewing whether copy uses overly complex vocabulary. You choose how many of the top words to display.
How it works
The text is split into words using a Unicode-aware pattern that treats any run of letters, numbers, apostrophes or hyphens as one word (so “well-known” and “don’t” stay intact). Words are then de-duplicated case-insensitively — the first casing seen is kept — so each distinct word appears once in the ranking.
Each word’s length is measured by counting Unicode code points, which means accented and non-Latin characters each count correctly as one. The list is sorted by length (longest first), with alphabetical order breaking ties, and the top N words are shown.
Example
Given the text “Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a long word, but antidisestablishmentarianism is well known too.” the top results are:
| Rank | Word | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis | 45 |
| 2 | antidisestablishmentarianism | 28 |
| 3 | known | 5 |
The two famously long words rise to the top, and shorter words follow by length then alphabetically. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, so your text stays private.
