Find which word appears the most in a sentence -- and how many times.

The challenge
Given "the quick brown fox the lazy dog the fox jumps", find the word that appears most often and print it followed by a space and its count (e.g. the 3). If there's a tie, use whichever of the tied words appears first in the sentence.
🧠 Need a hint? (Python)
Split the text into words, count occurrences with a dict, then walk the words in their original order tracking the highest count seen so far so ties resolve to the first-seen word.
