Also didn't get the same count of values, even after updating the truncating issues. Solution attached.

Challenge #182.

This is one that I have picked up and put down several times.  Finally figured out how they got to the answer.  I am not sure if I agree with these counts but they match the solution so I am moving on...

my solution :)

 

it differs from the challenge output because I removed several rows of strings that contain numbers, which I don't consider to be words. I also treated words like "the", "The", "THE" as the same word, and think this is a more correct solution

Great challenge, but like some other comments I read, I started getting different numbers. Eventually got it down to converting all mine to lowercase - removing this made things match. Another nice reminder to get myself more familiar with RegEx.
