Match words with num/dash/underscore

I'm struggling with writing correct RegExp, which matches words with and without numbers/dashes/underscore Correct words:

stackoverflow
stackoverfloW1
stack-overflow
stack_overflow1

etc. I've came up with this one: \w+(-\w+)+([A-Za-z0-9_\-]), but it matches only words with dash, so stack-overflow works, but not stackoverflow

In addition to my comment, here an answer as well:

([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)
# will match dash, underscore, a-z, A-Z an numbers

See the mentionned regex 101 demo. However, look into @stribizhev's comment as well as he is far more experienced than I am (considering his reputation he's here all the time...).
