## Frequently asked questions

### Can I ignore short words in my analysis?

Yes, use the 'Minimum Word Length' setting to exclude words shorter than your specified character count.

### Does the tool distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters?

By default, it is case-insensitive, but you can enable 'Case Sensitive' in the settings to treat 'Word' and 'word' as distinct entries.

### Can I include numbers in the frequency count?

Yes, the 'Include Numbers' checkbox is enabled by default, allowing you to track numeric occurrences alongside words.

### How many results can I view at once?

You can configure the 'Show Top N Results' option to display anywhere from 0 to 100 of the most frequent items.
