    ok made it. find the below code on a forum and changed it according to my needs it a little odd but working.
    In mouse move event

    Public cursorAt As Integer
        Public wordEnd As Integer
        Public isEnd As Boolean
        Public wordStart As Integer
    cursorAt = RichTextBox1.GetCharIndexFromPosition(e.Location)
           If cursorAt = 0 Then Return
           wordEnd = New Regex("[\s$]{1}").Match(RichTextBox1.Text.Substring(cursorAt)).Index
           isEnd = Not New Regex("\s").IsMatch(RichTextBox1.Text.Substring(cursorAt))
           wordStart = New Regex("[\s^]{1}", RegexOptions.RightToLeft).Match(RichTextBox1.Text.Substring(0, cursorAt)).Index
           If isEnd Then
     RichTextBox1.Select(wordStart, RichTextBox1.Text.Length)
                      Else
              RichTextBox1.Select(wordStart, cursorAt - wordStart + wordEnd)
