Use the words keyword to sort or select individual words.
A word is a set of characters enclosed by spaces, tabs, or returns.
To refer to actual words, i.e., words delimited by Unicode word breaks, use the keyword trueWords.
When used with the find command, the words keyword finds cards that contain each of the specified words, though not necessarily next to each other.
Examples
put (field 2 is among the words of field 1) into spellcheckMe
find words "run" -- finds "run", but not "running" or "grunt"
