My solution produces the right results, but the challenge doesn't accept it.

I've found another, shorter solution, but I'm wondering why my solution below hasn't been accepted by the challenge?

def word_count(astring):
    dict1 = {}
    a = astring.lower()
    string_list = list(set(a.split()))
    for i in string_list:
        dict1.update({i:a.count(i)})
    return dict1

it doesn't produce the right results for me. try it on this 'i am sam said sam i am I AM i am sam'. it is counting the am in sam as am and also the i in said as an i.
