Ah, yes.  Thank you.  I have included the fixes in the following.

---
(require 'cl-lib)

(defun buffer-most-used-words-1 (n)
  "Make a list of the N most used words in buffer."
  (let ((counts (make-hash-table :test #'equal))
	(words (split-string (buffer-string)))
	sorted-counts)
    (dolist (word words)
      (let ((count (gethash (downcase word) counts 0)))
	(puthash (downcase word) (1+ count) counts)))
    (cl-loop for word being the hash-keys of counts
       using (hash-values count)
       do
	 (push (list word count) sorted-counts)
       finally (setf sorted-counts (cl-sort sorted-counts #'>
					    :key #'cl-second)))
    (mapcar #'cl-first (cl-subseq sorted-counts 0 n))))

Maybe.  I hope this is useful to others also.
