What's wrong with letter by letter?  You could set it so that when you go to
the first box of the word and you enter a letter, and then hit a direction
key, and then each letter you type after that the box automatically moves in
the direction.  For example, clue 1 down is a really cool calculator.  You
would then hit T,down,I,8,9.  See what I mean?
