Adding String to end of an Matrix

I simply want to add a string to a matrix without combining them

for instance:

word = "";
wordlist = [];
for n = [1:3]
    word = input("Word: ","s");
    wordlist = [wordlist,word];
end

if the three inputs are "first", "second", "third", would make wordlist = 'firstsecondthird'.

How do I get worldlist to be ['first', 'second', 'third']?

wordlist = strings(3, 1);
for n = 1:3
    wordlist(n) = input("Word: ","s");
end
