The output would be

Length of Word	How Many Words In The Text In This Length

Answer 1

If you prefer doing it without any imports at all:

def wordlenghtsgrouper(phrase):
    l = [len(w) for w in phrase.replace('.','').replace(',','').split()]
    return {i:l.count(i) for i in l}

It returns a dictionary containing the "lengths" and a count of each ocurrence.

If you don't mind importing, you can use the Counter which is specifically does what you ask for:

from collections import Counter
...
def wordlenghtsgrouper(phrase):
    return Counter([len(w) for w in phrase.replace('.','').replace(',','').split()])
