For me and people who I let playtest the game in VC, I think it felt intuitive that you just run the commands along the direction you type them, and it would've been weirder if they had to type the word the other way. But assuming you mean the last puzzle here, it was actually designed around that concept, but it is totally not necessary, as you can just use deletion trick from previous puzzles to type whatever you want.
When actually writing/moving around it's more intuitive for sure. Just in some cases it confused me a bit. I actually solved the last puzzle using deletion, but it took away a bit of my excitement as my planned solution hasn't worked out (it would have if I undo-ed back and rewrote the word, but why would I bother at that point...)
