Consonant Counting Tips: How to Analyze Text Effectively
For Writers
- Use consonant clusters for dramatic effect
- Vary consonant sounds to create rhythm
- Softer consonants (like 'm', 'n') create smoother flow
For Language Learners
- Identify challenging consonant clusters in your target language
- Practice difficult consonant sounds in isolation
- Compare consonant distributions across languages

Common Consonant Patterns
English Consonant Distribution
In English, the letter 'T' is the most frequently used consonant, appearing in about 9% of all words. 'N', 'S', and 'R' follow closely behind. The least common consonants are 'Z', 'Q', and 'X'.
Consonant Clusters
English allows complex consonant clusters like 'splash' (spl), 'strengths' (str-ng-th-s), and 'twelfths' (tw-lf-th-s). Other languages may have simpler or more complex cluster rules.
Language Differences
Spanish has about 19 consonant sounds, French has 20, while English has 24 consonant sounds. Some languages like Hawaiian have far fewer consonants, while others like Georgian have very complex consonant clusters.
Pro Tip: Compare consonant distributions between poetry and prose to see how writers use consonants to create different effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the consonant counter work?
It uses AI to analyze your text for consonant patterns, counting each consonant occurrence and providing statistics about their distribution and position in words.
Does it count consonant sounds or just letters?
By default it counts consonant letters, but detailed analysis includes notes about consonant sounds (phonemes) where relevant, especially for letters that can represent multiple sounds.
Can it analyze consonant clusters and digraphs?
Yes, the detailed analysis option identifies common consonant clusters (like 'str' or 'mpt') and digraphs (like 'th' or 'ch') in your text.
