Creating a Histogram Lockdown 6.0

Today was the first day of the 6th Lockdown for Melbourne. There is some solis in learning to code in amongst the crazy homeschooling and teaching. I also have a deadline to try to get this pre learning done by the end of August. My struggle is coming down to a lack of practice and getting stuck on blocks.

My Code today cuts up a string, creates an array and looks at the frequency of word in a given input

puts 'Why are we in lockdown 6.0?'
text = gets.chomp
words = text.split
frequencies = Hash.new(0)
words.each do |word|
frequencies[word] += 1
end
frequencies = frequencies.sort_by do |_word, count|
count
end
frequencies.reverse!
frequencies.each do |word, count|
# puts word + ' ' + count.to_s
puts "#{word} #{count}"
end
