You will probably get a thousand different suggestions, but here's a
fairly direct and readable one in Python:
s1 = 'Is this word is the only word repeated in this string'
counts = {}
for w in s1.lower().split():
counts[w] = counts.get(w, 0) + 1
print(sorted(counts.items()))
# [('in', 1), ('is', 2), ('only', 1), ('repeated', 1), ('string', 1),
('the', 1), ('this', 2), ('word', 2)]
Of course you can adjust the definition of what constitutes a word,
handle punctuation and so on, and tinker with the output format to suit
yourself. You would replace s1.lower().split() with, e.g.,
my_custom_word_splitter(s1).
