What if I had 10 words to choose from maybe 20 single strings Is there a simpler way to grab that?

From there there are several ways of parsing the data. I find pdlua better for string operations but you have to learn lua or wait for someone to write the objects. It's possible to use moocow [bytes2any] and similar objects to parse limited amounts of text, the problem with huge amounts is that it all ends up as symbols in Pd's symbol table, which will eat memory and slow Pd down.
