Take a word and put letters into array?

Ive looked up and down every page of a google search a million times now, suprising i havent found the source for this once.

Lets say i take the word "source", i was wondering how you would go about taking the single letters and putting them into an array, or just single variables.

so

s = x

o = x2

u = x3

etc.

id love if someone could post the code to an array though, it would be very helpful.

Thanks so much!!!!
