How To A Word, Repeated
Three ways to get a word repeated 100 times: paste it into the box below and press 100, use the doubling trick in any editor, or let a spreadsheet formula build it for you.
Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times
100 copies — 1,399 characters.
1. The box on this page
The seed field starts with the phrase from the title. Replace it with your own word, then press 100, 1000 or 10000. The block rebuilds as you type, the copy button takes all of it, and the download button saves it as a .txt file. The repeating happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
2. The doubling trick, in any editor
This works in Word, Google Docs, Notepad, an email window, anywhere you can select all and paste. Type the word once with a space after it, select it, copy, then paste at the end. Select everything and copy again. Every round doubles what you have.
- 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 copies
- Seven rounds passes 100. Delete the spare 28.
- Ten rounds reaches 1,024, which covers 1,000.
- Fourteen rounds reaches 16,384, which covers 10,000.
3. A spreadsheet formula
Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc all have REPT. Put =REPT(“word “,100) in a cell and it returns the word 100 times with the spaces included. Change the number for a different count. One limit to know: an Excel cell holds 32,767 characters, so a long word at 10,000 copies will not fit in a single cell.
Which one to use
The box is fastest for one block you are about to paste somewhere. REPT is better when the count keeps changing or the result belongs in a sheet. The doubling trick is the fallback inside an app that gives you no tools at all.
