I use a pen and paper (I handwrite anything important as a first draft) and then Microsoft Word. Depending on how important it is, I also use Language Tool, Grammarly and ProWriting Aid (in that order) to check my grammar and style. I use an online version of the OED (free with being a member of my local library), Merriam-Webster and a most usually, a downloaded version of WordWeb for checking the meanings of words and their usage. I also use Poet Assistant on a phone particularly for synonyms.

Very occasionally I use Notepad++ and I have written some simple programs myself to check for word usage.
