How do I convert chars into a word table

See more:

Lua

I have a function that splits a string up into a table, but with chars.

function strToTable(stringer)
	local newTable = {}
        for i = 1, #stringer do
    	newTable[i] = stringer:sub(i, i)
	end
	return newTable
end

and then I have a function that turns the char table into a word table.

function tableToWords(t)
	local newT = {}
	local Word = ""
	for _,Char in pairs(t) do
		if (Char == " ") then
			table.insert(newT, Word)
			Word = ""
		else
			Word = Word .. Char
		end
	end
	return newT
end

Except, it only returns three words if you have more than 3.
I have no Idea what I did wrong.

What I have tried:

Rewriting the Function from Scratch.
Tried different methods of converting the string to chars.
I have determined the problem is in the TableToWords function.
