Read in text values from CSV file into matrix

Hi, i'm trying to read in a csv file that has a row full of words each in a separate cell.

Current code

clc;

clear;

%Create Matrix

dictionary = [];

dictionary = readtable('Dictionary.csv');

%pick random word

word_index = randi(9876, 1);

disp(word_index);

%selected_word = dictionary(word_index);

The problem is that if I use extractFileText it reads it in as 1x1 string and if I use readtable it reads it in as a 0*9885 table (There are 9885 words in the csv file). I have also tried readmatrix and xlsread

What function would allow me to read in the csv file into the matrix where each word in the csv file is its own element in a 1*9885 matrix?
