Caution with this solution.
The definition of a 'word' for LiveCode is not what you would normally
think.
Spaces are not the only white space, and punctuation that is attached
to the word is included as part of a word.

How can I list every word from a textarea?
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
