There isn’t a way to directly add words to so they appear in the prediction buttons. Snap automatically add words to the predictionary as they are entered into the message window. Simply type out the word a few times and it should start to appear in the prediction buttons. The more the word is used, the sooner it will start to appear.
Note: For the initial release version of Snap, there isn’t a way to disable learning words for prediction. That setting will be added in a later version of the software.

Once a setting to disable learning word is added to Snap, it is recommended that learning words be disable for beginning writers. The setting can always be enabled temporarily if new words need to be added to the prediction dictionary.
