You will need to have an English word list. The list of English words can be downloaded from Kaggle @ https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/yk1598/479k-english-words 

This list can be loaded in Power BI and then against this word query can be run.

I have created the solution in Excel (including above English words list) and uploaded to https://1drv.ms/x/s!Akd5y6ruJhvhuhUn9nNJwrRdjkP6?e=rZT3UG 

The solution will give this output
