title: Why is sorted() not sorting my list of strings?
body: <p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
  
  <p>So I was trying to <em>alphabetically</em> sort my list of strings maybe I overlooked something very minor. I have tried both .sort and sorted() but maybe I didn't do it correctly? </p>
  
  <p>Here is my Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>words = input("Words: ")
  list1 = []
  list1.append(words.split())
  print(sorted(list1))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Expected output</strong>-</p>
  
  <pre><code>Input: "a b d c"
  Output: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Current output</strong>- </p>
  
  <pre><code>Input: "a b d c" 
  Output: [['a', 'b', 'd', 'c']]
  </code></pre>
