Dictionary word count

So I am trying to get this program to count all the words and the number of times each word is used and put it in a dictionary with a count. It seems to be counting the words correctly but I can't get it to print the correct word with the count. 

import urllib.request
words_to_count={}
url='http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/Classes/15F/cis122/data/alice1.txt'
with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as webpage:
    for line in webpage:
        line=line.strip()
        line=line.decode('utf-8')
        line=line.lower()
        if len(line)>0:
            line_list=line.split(" ")
        for word in line_list:
            if word in words_to_count:
                words_to_count[word
                           ]+=1
            else:
                words_to_count[word]=1
for words in sorted(words_to_count):
    count=words_to_count [words]
    show_word=format(word,'<12s')
    show_count=format( count,'6d')
    print(show_word, show_count)

This is because of this line:

show_word=format(word,'<12s')

You are using word, but you should have using words as introduced in the for-loop.

word is a variable from your previous for-loop.
