Default Finding most common word in a list

Hi,

I have data organized in the following way:

Thousands of rows, each row has from 10-100 columns. In each cell is
text, either one or two words.

Within each row, is there an easy way to find which cells are repeated
the most?

So for example:
A1 = "America"
B1 = "Ecuador"
C1 = "Spain"
D1 = "America"

For row 1, I would want the macro to return "America".

Note that each row is totally independent of each other row.

Also, I need to run this on literally 250,000 rows with an avg of 50
entries per row...so I have to make the code as efficient as possible.
Please help!!!

Thanks,

Phil
