Have taken the ispell route.  But I got into the difficulty of 

(error "Marker points into wrong buffer" #<marker at 1 in  *temp*>)

Furthermore I am not sure whether the method is efficient.

(defun is-valid-word (word)
  "Check if the WORD is valid using `ispell`."
  (let ((original-buffer (current-buffer)))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert word)
      (ispell-word)
      (not (eq (current-buffer) original-buffer)))))
