Remove duplicates from an array string

$
0
0
I am trying to remove the duplicate words from a sentence entered by the user without punctuation. I believe I am over thinking this. If the user types in "that cat is black and this cat is yellow", then it should display:
that
black
and
this
yellow

since cat and is are used twice. Instead, it just shows each word once and doesn't remove the two duplicates. Any help is greatly appreciated!

using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            {   
                // Creates list of string
                List<string> list = new List<string>();

                // Writes for sentence
                Console.Write("Enter a sentence with no punctuation: ");

                // Converts console into string
                string sentence = (Console.ReadLine());

                // Splits string into array
                string[] words = sentence.Split();

                // Writes array to list
                //for (int i = 0; i < words.Length; i++)
                //{
                //    list.Add(words[i]);
                //}

  

                //Writes words
                foreach (var element in words)
                {
                    if (!list.Contains(element))
                        list.Add(element);
                }

                // Sorts words
                var sort =
                    from word in list
                    let Upper = word.ToUpper()
                    orderby Upper
                    select Upper;

                foreach (var element in sort)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(element);
                }


                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}
