I have written a simple and rudimental script using min search sorting
words_array = []

loop do
   input = gets.downcase.chomp
   break if input.empty?
   words_array << input
end

puts words_array.inspect
sorted_array = []
until words_array.length == 0 do
  min = words_array.first
  min_index = 0
  words_array.each_index do |i|
    if words_array[i] < min then
      min_index = i
      min = words_array[i]
    end
  end
  sorted_array << min
  words_array.delete_at(min_index)
end
puts sorted_array.inspect
