Try this:

Find what: [^[:alpha:]][[:alpha:]]{5}[^[:alpha:]]

You could do this twice, the first time check Mark All to bookmark the lines.
Then run again, checking Find Next to pick out the word(s) on the lines.

-----------------
Edited: I just noticed that does not find the last word on a line, need to modify to handle that ......
Edit2: This also selects words that start or end with a number... working on corrections....

This one is better, at least it does no longer picks up words with numbers

Find what: [[:space:]][a-zA-Z]{5}[[:space:]]

But it is still missing the first and last words on a line. Still need to modify to ignore ^ and \n

\<[a-z]{5}\> should work

Thanks bveldkamp

I did not know I could use {n} to control the length of word inside \< \>.
I had only used it with [ ] or "." or specific chars before.

One more tool to put in the toolbox.
