What defines a word?

In Vim, a word consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space. (Source: Vim Help Page)

There is no need to memorize this definition. It is easier to practice moving with words in the playground above until you get a good feel for it.
