Haven't used tokenize within the regex tool in a bit; good practice to refresh.

my solution.  interesting that the text to columns using a delimeter of a space didn't yield the correct number of words for me.  used the regex tokenize to get the correct number of words as others had used.

I decided to define a word as a series of letters which can have a ' in the middle of the word (so I had they're as a word). I removed all the other characters from the start and end of words and split the words up based on this (so long-form would be two words). I also made everything lowercase as I believe that The is the same word as the.

 

This gives me a slightly different solution which I personally prefer

My numbers don't exactly match (like many other people have said) because my solution is not case sensitive.

Didn't try to match the solution.  I changed everything to lower case first, so I could count "the", "THE" and "The" as the same word, for example.
