Hi
Welcome to the board

Sorry, but your post is very incomplete. How can excel know what the words are?

For ex.

HSL2 (10-PER)BULK 3002580

How can excel know that:
HSL is not a word
PER is not a word
BULK is a word

??

For ex. not even I, that am human, know what you consider words in:

20449 SCKT 1/4 FMALE SQ

So, in conclusion, you must post the logic that allows excel to look at a sequence of letters and decide: this is a word or this is not a word.
