👉What have you tried so far? 👉Please tag the relevant programming language. 👉Please put your complete code in a script on sololearn playground: Go to Code section, click+, select the programming language, insert your code and save. Come back to this thread, click +, Insert Code, sort for My Code Bits, select your code. 👉You have joined sololearn only a few minutes ago. Maybe you would like to revise some basics before you do this task: https://www.sololearn.com/Course/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Course/Python-for-Beginners/?ref=app

Using a for loop sounds good. And I see that you tagged dictionaries. So I would use it.

Indentation is essential in Python. Please check the indentation. On each iteration of the loop, check if the current word is in your dictionary: If not, add the word as key with the value 1 If yes, increase the value in the dictionary by 1

https://code.sololearn.com/c2ruGAzvnv5D/?ref=app Just save all the words in a list , count the number of time each occurs and print the one with the highest occurance . In python it can be done in just a 2 line program.

This is not working because of improper syntax. The syntax should be like this: def func(): # your code
