Yep, it's called a list. Here's the approach (untested):
on GetWords theLineOfText
-- may want to fiddle with "the itemdelimiter" here
nWords = the number of words in theLineOfText
listOfWords = []
repeat with i = 1 to nWords
thisWord = word i of theLineOfText
append(listOfWords, thisWord)
end repeat
return listOfWords
end
