using sed or grep to find exact match of text

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the text editing I need here. I have a file that contains the following lines for example: (line numbers are for illustration only)

1 Hello world fantasy.
2 Hello worldfuntastic.
3 Hello world wonderful.

I would like to get all those lines of text that contains the word "world" without anything after it. Meaning, I would like to have lines 1 and 3, line 2 should not be included because it contains "worldfuntastic", no space between.

1 Hello world fantasy.
3 Hello world wonderful

The problem is, there are some lines that use TAB to separate words like line 3. When I use grep "world " <filename>, this will get all lines of text with the word "world" and space after it but not those with TAB, i.e. the results would only be:
1 Hello world fantasy

line 3 is not included because "world" and "wonderful" are separated by TAB. Any suggestions, please?
