Alphabetical, every letter

The table lists A to Z in order, including letters that never appear. That makes it easy to look up one letter, spot missing letters in a pangram, or copy a complete set of counts into a worksheet or spreadsheet.

Change the order

Switch the sort to most frequent first to rank letters by count. Use Copy as CSV to move the table into a spreadsheet.

Compare with English

The English average column lets you check each letter against typical usage. Large gaps often point to a short text, a different language or a coded message.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Read the A to Z table. Letters with a zero count are listed so nothing is missing.
  3. Use the English average column to compare each letter with typical usage.

Is it a pangram?

A pangram uses every letter at least once. If no letter in the table shows a zero, your text is a pangram. The sentence The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is a classic example.
