Similar to a lot of people, I can't seem to get exact results to the solution but everything else seems right...

Learning so much by doing these. sneaky with the max field size on the csv.

Don't panic - I've got Alteryx!

My answer differed slightly from the solution, but I assume that's related to parsing the text initially. Enjoyed this challenge

This could have been a gotcha if they didn't give the hint!

 

Spoiler
The hint obviously told us to go to the input (notice it's not a Text Input tool but an actual Input tool?) and expand the Field Length:

Once I'd fixed the input, I simply tokenised to rows on each entire word: \<\w+\> then removed the empty cells and used the Summarise tool to group and count on each word. I then summed that to give me a total word count and Appended it back. Then I simply sorted and calculated the Percentage of total.

Nice.
