+### stringToArrayOfWords
+
+Converts a given string into an array of words.
+
+Use `String.split()` with a supplied pattern (defaults to non alpha as a regex) to convert to an array of strings. Use `Array.filter()` to remove any empty strings.
+Omit the second argument to use the default regex.
+
+```js
+const stringToArrayOfWords = (str, pattern = /[^a-zA-Z-]+/) => str.split(pattern).filter(Boolean);
+// stringToArrayOfWords("I love javaScript!!") -> ["I", "love", "javaScript"]
+// stringToArrayOfWords("python, javaScript & coffee") -> ["python", "javaScript", "coffee"]
+```
