If you have a word like "It", for which you don't include "It's" or "Its", do the frequencies of "It's" and "Its" still affect they overall ranking of "it"?

Generally no. So, to take an example that happened in this quiz, if the frequency of years, which would otherwise have appeared in this Top 20, was added to that of year, then year would move up to 2nd.
