I would just select the two words with the mouse (point and mark
anywhere in both words will do), then use M-t with a zero prefix
argument:

     A numeric argument of zero is assigned a special meaning (because
  otherwise a command with a repeat count of zero would do nothing): to
  transpose the character (word, expression, line) ending after point with
  the one ending after the mark.
