I'm making the assets for a lyric video but I would like to split up the sentences that have already been written into individual words to allow me to go from this -
To something like this (quickly) -
Any idea how to split up a sentence into individual text layers?
Thanks.

Not quickly.
Is the grid part of the image?

No, the background will be transparent

I think you will just have to make selections and move them manually.

There may be a way to randomize text in After Effects.
If you have After Effects, you might ask here:

You mean short of placing each word on it's own separate layer?
I don't have an automagic way to do that in Photoshop, sorry.

Perhaps something like this:

psd = app.activeDocument;
layer = psd.activeLayer;
var text = layer.textItem.contents;
var textArray = text.split(" ");
var lngth = textArray.length+1;
for (var w=1; w<lngth;w++){
wordlayer = layer.duplicate();
wordlayer.name = textArray[w-1];
wordlayer.textItem.contents = textArray[w-1];
psd.activeLayer = wordlayer;
}
