I have found out how to find how many times 1 letter appears in a code:

def longestRepeat(x, y):
    count = 0
    longest = 0
    i = x
    while i in y:
        count+=1
        i = x*(count+1)
    return count

BUT I cannot figure out how to have it search through a given string on it's own for the most common.
