1. A method comprising: detecting a gesture from a single input item on a touch-enabled display of an input device, the gesture input comprising a swipe gesture; determining a location on the touch-enabled display where the swipe gesture begins and a direction of the swipe gesture; dynamically subdividing a view area of the touch-enabled display into one or more segments based on the location and the direction of the swipe gesture, wherein each segment represents a particular word length; detecting the swipe gesture move into a first segment of the one or more segments; presenting a list of one or more words that each have a word length determined according to the word length indicated by the first segment; detecting the swipe gesture move into a second segment of the one or more segments; and dynamically updating the presented list of one or more words with one or more different words in response to detecting the swipe gesture move into the second segment and in response to a period of time elapsing after modification of the swipe gesture, the one or more different words each having a word length that corresponds to the word length indicated by the second segment.

The method of claim 1 , wherein subdividing the view area of the touch-enabled display comprises a subdivision selected from the group consisting of linearly subdividing the view area and logarithmically subdividing the view area based on one or more usage patterns associated with the received input gesture.
