taking a "word" as input

C takes input character by character. I did not find any Standard Library
function that can take a word as input. So I want to write one of my own
to be used with "Self Referential Structures" of section 6.5 of K&R2. K&R2
has their own version of <getword> which, I think,  is quite different
from what I need:

<getword> will have following properties:


 1.) If the word contains any number like "beauty1" or "win2e" it will
 discard it, K&R2's <getword> does not. My <getword> will only take
 pure-words like "beauty", "wine" etc.


2.) we can store each word by using <array of pointers> pointing to those
words and since words themselves are  strings, which in
reality, are <arrays of chars>, so we will have <array of pointers> to
those <arrays of chars>.


or you think using a 2D array is a better idea ?
