Repeated ↻ words
Two different problems, told apart rather than mixed together: a word you have leaned on too often, and a word accidentally typed twice in a row. The second one is a typo your eye skips straight over — it gets its own list.

Repeated words
Accidentally doubled
The same word twice in a row. Almost always a typing slip, and one that reads straight past both the writer and most spell-checkers.
Worth knowing
Two different kinds of repetition
Using “however” nine times in an article is a style question you might decide is fine. Typing “the the” is simply wrong. Tools that pour both into one list bury the second in the first, so they are separated here.
Density is a symptom, not a target
Keyword density has not been a ranking factor for many years, and writing to hit a percentage reads badly. It is shown because a word at 4–5% is usually a genuine sign you have repeated yourself, not because a number needs hitting.
Stop words are hidden, not deleted
Filler words like the and of dominate any frequency count and
tell you nothing, so they are filtered out of the table by default. They still count
toward the totals, and doubled stop words are still reported — that is where
“the the” lives.
Hyphens and apostrophes stay intact
state-of-the-art is one word and don't is one word. Splitting
purely on punctuation would count don and t separately and
quietly inflate every total.
Case folding is a choice
By default Apple and apple are the same word, which is what you
want when checking for repetition. Turn on case sensitivity when the capitalisation is the
point — a brand name, or code.
