If Word is the only app that is missing, first check if you have inadvertently deleted the shortcut you normally use to start Word. Search for Word on the Windows Start menu. If you find it, you can pin it to the Start menu and/or to the taskbar, with no need to reinstall your Office package.

If Office was not pre-installed on your PC, when you first activated Office that licence should have become associated to your Microsoft Account as a digital licence online and it is from there that you can re-install Office without the need for a product key:
