Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
If you just want the last word, how about
Excel Formula:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",100)),100))

Another option with Excel 365 you could use FLASH FILL.
Type Green in cell B2.
Then go to DATA on ribbon
Then click on FLASH FILL and it will fill in the last word.
