Extending my text file word count ranker and calculator

[snippsat]

A class example,here is not filename or most_common Hard-coded in code.
Now could this be changed in the function version to,but this is a class example how to do it

from collections import Counter
import re

class WordCounter:
    def file_read(self, file_name):
        with open(file_name) as f:
            self.text = f.read().lower()

    @property
    def word_count(self):
        wordlist = self.text.split()
        print(f"A total of {len(wordlist)} words can be found inside this text file.")

    def rank_words(self, count_amount: int) -> int:
        '''Count most common word in a text'''
        words = re.findall('\w+', self.text)
        top_10 = Counter(words).most_common(count_amount)
        for word,count in top_10:
            print(f'{word:<4} {"-->":^4} {count:>4}')

Use class:

>>> text = WordCounter()

>>> text.file_read('Alice.txt')
>>> text.word_count
A total of 29465 words can be found inside this text file.

>>> text.rank_words(5)
the  -->  1818
and  -->   940
to   -->   809
a    -->   690
of   -->   631
