How to check if selected text is a valid word

Question sounds easy as we think but I couldn't find a solution with any of this: regexp, asc, check space around

For example, in text "Hello world", I can allow "Hello" or "world", but I should not allow user-selection like "Hel", "Worl"

So, if user not selecting a full-word, then I should throw an error. Any thoughts please?
