Join two tables with common word in SQL server

Hello. I have to join two tables with common words.
I tried the possibilities, but I was advised to use CTE to split sentences to words and then to find each word in another record. But I don't have much knowledge of CTE. Is there anyone can help with this?

What I have tried:

SQL

DECLARE @tablea TABLE(Id int, [Text] VARCHAR(250))
DECLARE @tableb TABLE(Id int, Konto int, [Text] VARCHAR(250))

INSERT INTO @tablea(Id, [Text])
VALUES(1, 'Buy of Caffe'),
(2, 'Gebyr service'),
(3, 'Sell of goods'),
(4, 'Pbs salg varer'),
(5, 'Fatktura')

INSERT INTO @tableb(Id, Konto, [Text])
VALUES(1, 1001, 'Betaling for Faktura'),
(2, 1002, 'Buy goods from butik'),
(3, 1003, 'Sell of caffe to butik'),
(4, 1004, 'Salg'),
(5, 1003, 'GOOGLE service')

SELECT ta.Id, ta.[Text], tb.Konto
FROM @tablea ta LEFT JOIN @tableb tb ON PATINDEX('%' + tb.Text + '%', ta.Text) > 0

This appears to be the same as the question you posted back in May:

Yes. That's correct, but I was advised to use CTE to resolve this issue, therefore I ask for help again

I need the following:

Id | Text              | Konto      
1  | Buy of Caffe      | 1003            
2  | Gebyr service     | 1005             
3  | Sell of goods     | 1002    
4  | Pbs salg varer    | 1004         
5  | Fatktura          | 1001

Hi @Gerry. It is very interesting, but the problem is that they can not be used between two tables, because if we take for example;
FREETEXT(Column name, 'Query Search'). That is, I cann't use column instead of 'Query Search' because it accepts only one value, while column has more than one value. Do you have any ideas about that? Many thanks in advance for your help
