There's a feature request for this:

Depends on what you mean by "best". Not to be flippant, but the
RegEx engine has its own idea of what a "word" is, which may not
match your idea. For general purposes, the \b wildcard works
well as a word boundary marker, since it also matches beginning
or end of line as a word boundary, which \W won't.
