Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
What are 'echo words'?
Echo words are words repeated within a short distance of each other (e.g., in the same or adjacent sentences). They can sound clumsy or repetitive to the reader's inner ear.
Does this find duplicate phrases?
Yes, it can identify repeated sequences of words, not just single terms, helping you find accidentally repeated sentences or clauses.
Why fix repetition?
Language variety keeps readers engaged. Using the same adjective five times in a paragraph makes writing feel flat and uninspired. This tool forces you to explore your vocabulary.
