Frequently asked questions

What does Alphabetize words do?

Sort all the words in your text into alphabetical order.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Alphabetize words different from Remove duplicate words?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Remove duplicate words is the one to open when you need it to keep only the first occurrence of each word in your text. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Reading speed (words per minute) calculator is the closest one after this: Measure your reading speed in words per minute from words read and time taken.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.
