First, welcome Razvan!

In addition to Pierre"s and Richmond's suggestions, here's a few:

function getWordList someText
	replace space with cr in someText
	return someText
end getWordList

function getUniqueWordList someText
	repeat for each word w in someText
	if w is not among the lines of uniqueWord then put w & cr after uniqueWords	
	end repeat
	-- AND JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT
	sort uniqueWords
	return uniqueWords
end getWordList
