Have you looked at operations such as Find_Token, Count, and Index in 
Ada.Strings.Fixed?

Looking at your example I see the following words (non-whitespace 
surrounded by whitespace):

a

1 word of length 1

is
an
it
in

4 words of length 2

but
see

2 words of length 3

This
file
work

3 words of length 4

input
we'll

2 words of length 5

should

1 word of length 6

example
minute.

2 words of length 7

0 words of length 8

hopefully
correctly

2 words of length 9

This doesn't agree with your expected results of 1 / 4 / 2 / 3 / 1 / 2. 
Perhaps if you can decide what your requirements are, you'll find it 
easier to fulfill them.
