Beyond overall word and character counts, breaking text down by vowels versus consonants — and by individual letter frequency — is a common need in linguistics exercises, cryptography puzzles, and word game analysis like Scrabble strategy.
This tool scans your text and tallies every letter, splitting the total into vowels and consonants, then shows a full alphabetical frequency breakdown of every letter used.
It's useful for language learning exercises, analyzing text for letter-frequency-based puzzles, or just satisfying curiosity about the composition of a piece of writing.
