Split each string with space and check if any splited string equals to your target string. Here is the code:
var list = new List<string> { "line one", "line two", "line three", "line four", "row three", "linethree", "three" };
var result = list.Where(i => i.Split(' ').Any(j => j.Equals("three"))).ToList();
//result:
// line three
// row three
// three
Also you may want to use StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase as the second parameter of the Equals method in the case that you are looking for case-insensitive solution.

add space at the first of three like this:
string str = " three"
so it just get words
and for updated input use like this
string str = " "+"three"

@LadO it work before any word have space so in just get words try it it work
Convert str to regex pattern by adding \b at beginning and end to find words then use Regex.Match to select the matches.
