Question Remove lines containing 2 or more duplicate strings

Within my text file i have several thousand lines of text with some lines containing duplicate strings/words. I would like to entirely remove those lines which contain the duplicate strings.

Eg;
Code:
One and a Two
Unix.com is the Best
This as a Line Line
Example duplicate sentence with the word duplicate

Output;
Code:
One and a Two
Unix.com is the Best

The letter case doesn't matter.

Much Thanks as always for your help Smilie
