Default formula to keep a running tally of the number of times a certain w
=SUMPRODUCT(--(L4:L555="sdp"))

An alternative for a single criteria count is:
=COUNTIF(L4:L555,"sdp")

And if the data setup permits using entire* col refs,
then it could be just simply:
=COUNTIF(L:L,"sdp")

*imo, that's an advantage in this instance,
since Sumproduct does not accept entire col references

should have looked around before I posted... found my answer:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(L4:L555="sdp"))
