Ah yes I see what you mean now. Ok so now I'm left with trying to use 
the hash key to assign the phrases. Do I need to incrument the h and k 
each time or just one of them?

    lists = Hash.new {|h, k| h[k] = []}

    f.each do |line|
      phrase = line.scan /\w+/
      limit = phrase.length - 1

      0.upto limit do |start|
        start.upto limit do |stop|
          lists[h,k] << [start..stop].join(' ')
        end
      end

    end

    lists.sort_by {|w,c| -c}.each do |w,c|
       printf "%6d %s\n", c, w
    end

Thanks again,

Ryan
