8 years ago Neat idea.
Wordy currently uses one mechanism to highlight words -- repurposing the spell checker.
I've seen use of the syntax highlighting engine to highlight words or phrases, such as instances of "the the".
There might be a way to run a script, such as
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Word_frequency_statistics_for_a_file
and then use custom highlight groups to color the most frequent words, similar to what is done here
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words
However, I don't have the time to work on it now.
If you or anyone else wants to take a stab at it, it could be very useful.
I'd recommend that it be done as a separate plugin, which I'd mention prominently in the Wordy README. This keeps Wordy simple.
I'd recommend different modes for the different scopes of overuse: file, paragraph, sentence, etc. (yes, I used 'different' twice here :^)

It would be great if there were a way to just highlight the words that are overused in the current file. It could work for the whole buffer and for each paragraph. So if a word were used a lot more than any other in the file it would be highlighted, and if a word were used more than, say, three times in the same paragraph, it would be highlighted too. And then there could be a way to customize how much a word can be used to trigger this and maybe a way to cycle through the most used words, highlighting one at a time.
