Split Each Word Into Separate Variable

Well, you have to first define and tell us how each "word" is separated.
The example you gave of "New York, NY" clearly contains multiple "words" as commonly defined, and as defined by normal RegEx rules.

Once we know the delimited between fields (what you are calling words) it is fairly easy.
If you get this by a copy from cells in the same row in Excel, then the fields will be separated by TABs.

Here is a simple solution using TABs. It is just an example written in response to your request. You will need to use as an example and/or change to meet your workflow automation needs.

Please let us know if it meets your needs.
