to get rid of potential double spaces after the explode, you could do:
foreach ($words as $word) {
    if (!empty($word)) {
        $first = $word;
        break;
    }
}
echo $first;

This will always return the first word.

how much easier do you want it? oh and guessing kinda sucks.

$str = "Hello World";
$words = explode(" ", $str);
echo $words[0];

... but what if you have double spaces, or a space at the beginning?
