Finding the most used words in a book of the Bible
I've found similar forums regarding how to find all the verbs and nouns in a section of Scripture, but I'm wondering, Does anyone know how if Logos offers a tool to find the most used words in a particular book of the Bible?
For example, in searching Ephesians, is there any way to conduct a search and have it come back showing the most used word in Ephesians, the second most used word in Ephesians, the third most used word in Ephesians...and so on.
Hopefully this question makes sense. Thank you.

Hey Justin! The tool for this would be the Concordance tool. Using Concordance, you can break the bible down word by word. At the moment Concordance is available in the Full Feature Set for Logos 7. More information on it can be found here.

Thank you Brandyn! Unfortunately I'm still using Logos 6. If I switch over to Logos 7, the Starter edition, will this feature be included in it?

No, but for clarification:
In previous releases, users could purchase "base packages" or "cross grades." Now, things are a bit more complicated.
- A "library" is books.
- A "feature set" is features (similar to cross grade)
- "Logos Now" is a subscription service, providing many benefits.
The "starter library" doesn't have any features, by itself. It has books. The "starter feature set" has a few (follow link for more). The concordance tool can be PURCHASED via the "full feature set" or the more expensive "extended feature set." Confused yet? [:P]
IMO, a better way to acquire access (but not own the feature) is via a "Logos Now" subscription. In addition to all past & current features, you also gain access to future features as they are developed. Membership also includes special discounts & other freebies, plus beta access to the web app.

You can use a word list document, add the whole book and sort by count, that should work already for you.

First, you should get the free version of Logos 7. That won't help with this problem, but there's no reason not to get it: https://blog.logos.com/2017/03/get-logos-7-basic-already-logos/
The other good news is that you can also use the Word List document to do what you want, at least for words in the original language. There's a video to help you here: https://www.logos.com/logos-pro/word-lists
If you want the Concordance feature, you need either the Full Feature Set, Extended Feature Set, or Logos Now.

Thank you all. This forum is always so helpful. The Word List feature in Logos 6 is actually exactly what I was needing to know about! Grace and peace to all of you!

Great! But don't forget Mark's suggestion... You <should> update to L7. Faithlife has already announced that support for L6 will be ending soon.

Someone mentioned it's a free update to L7. Is that correct?
