Default How can I get a count of specifc words in a range?

If there will be a maximum of one specifc word per cell:

=COUNTIF(range, "specifc")


If the specifc word can occur multiple times within a cell, array-enter
(CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN):

=SUM(LEN(range)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(range, "specifc","")))/LEN("specifc")
