Looking for like this:

One of the ways: You can achieve this by using regular expression and stringcollection. You would need to check whether first stringcollection words are contained in another or not.

Think about how you would do this in the real world: you would break the string into individual words and then compare them.
So start there: break the string into words first (using a Regex or String.Split) and go from there.

If you have code that works character by character on on an array, then the algorithm is the same - you just change the comparison to use strings from an array of strings instead of of characters.

But since we have no access to the code you have written so far we can't be at all specific!
