    count the length of each word in a string

    I am looking for a way to create a method with the initial state in while loop, which will count the length of each word in a string using I want the output to be something along the lines of:

    hello world how are you
    There are 0 words of length 0
    There are 0 words of length 1
    There are 0 words of length 2
    There are 3 words of length 3
    There are 0 words of length 4
    There are 2 words of length 5

    ithis is my code so far it sort of does the job but not the way i want it too

    Code:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;
    
    public class Brown_Matthew_13117002{
       
      public static int count(String s, int len){
        int result=0;
        StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s,"[ ,;]");
        while(st.hasMoreTokens()){
          if(st.nextToken().length()==len){
            result++;
          }
        }
        return result;
         
      }
       
      public static void main(String args[])
      {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);       
        String line ="";
        int max = 6;
         
        while((line=scan.nextLine())!=null){
          String sentence [] = line.split(" ");
          for(int i=0;i<sentence.length;i++) {
             
            System.out.println(sentence[i]);
    
            System.out.println("There are " + count(line, i) + " words of lenghth " + i);
    
             
          } 
        }
      }
    }
    the output would end up being
    hello
    There are 0 words of lenghth 0
    world
    There are 0 words of lenghth 1
    how
    There are 0 words of lenghth 2
    are
    There are 3 words of lenghth 3
    you
    There are 0 words of lenghth 4
