In ordinary English text, the letter e shows up far more often than any other, and a simple substitution cipher that swaps each letter for a different symbol doesn't actually hide that pattern, it just relabels it, which is exactly why counting how often each character appears in a ciphertext is one of the oldest tricks in cryptanalysis for guessing which symbol actually represents e. This tool counts how often every character appears in a block of text, surfacing the same frequency pattern a classical cipher attack would look for.

Useful for spotting the letter frequency pattern behind a simple substitution cipher, checking whether a password relies on too many repeated characters despite looking long enough, or analyzing character distribution in a piece of text for a cryptography exercise.

Quick answers for Character Frequency Counter

Is the count case sensitive?
You can toggle case sensitivity, so "A" and "a" either count as the same character or as two separate entries depending on your setting.
Can I sort the results?
Yes, results can be sorted either by frequency (most common character first) or alphabetically by the character itself.
Can I export the frequency table?
Yes, the full character-by-count breakdown can be exported as a CSV file for use in a spreadsheet.
