Html – How to add id to each element in this case?

Given this code:

var words=['ac', 'bd', 'bf','uy','ca'];

document.getElementById("wordTable").innerHTML=arr2tbl(2);

function arr2tbl(ncols){
 return words.reduce((a,c,i)=>{
 if(i%ncols==0)a.push([]);
   a.at(-1).push(c);
   return a;
  },[]).map(r=>"<tr>"+r.map(c=>`<td>${c}</td>`).join("")+"</tr>").join("n");
}
<table id="wordTable"></table>

the code prints out this table

<table>
<tr>
<td>ac</td> <td>bd</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bf</td> <td>uy</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ca</td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>

But I want to assign id for each word so that I can format them dynamicaly

something like this

<table>
<tr>
<td id="1">ac</td>  <td id="2">bd</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="3">bf</td>  <td id="4">uy</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="5">ca</td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>

So that later on I can have a fuction like this

function formatWord (wordID){
  document.getElementById(wordID).style.color ="red";
}

Users can call formatWord (2); formatWord (5);.. randomly

If we can not do this with "td", it doesn’t matter. As long as I can format the words in the table dynamically.

    You could pass along the index of the word like so:

    let words = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'];

document.getElementById('wordTable').innerHTML = arr2tbl(2);

function arr2tbl(ncols){
 return words.reduce((a,c,i)=>{
 if(i%ncols==0)a.push([]);
   a.at(-1).push([c, i]);
   return a;
  },[]).map(r=>"<tr>"+r.map(c=>`<td id="${c[1]}">${c[0]}</td>`).join("")+"</tr>").join("n");
}
    <table id="wordTable" border="1"></table>

    We can pass the index value into the array when reducing

    var words=['ac', 'bd', 'bf','uy','ca'];

let result = arr2tbl(2)
console.log(result)
document.getElementById("wordTable").innerHTML=result;

function arr2tbl(ncols){
 return words.reduce((a,c,i)=>{
 if(i%ncols==0)a.push([]);
   a.at(-1).push([c,i+1]);
   return a;
  },[]).map(r=>"<tr>"+r.map(c=>`<td id="${c[1]}">${c[0]}</td>`).join("")+"</tr>").join("n");
}
    <table id="wordTable"></table>

    You can do it as simple as possible with adding a variable called index and then ++ it on your preferred iteration.

    var words = ['ac', 'bd', 'bf', 'uy', 'ca'];

        document.getElementById("wordTable").innerHTML = arr2tbl(2);

        function arr2tbl(ncols) {
            var index = 1;
            return words.reduce((a, c, i) => {
                if (i % ncols == 0) a.push([]);
                a.at(-1).push(c);
                return a;
            }, []).map(r => "<tr>" + r.map(c => `<td id=${index++}>${c}</td>`).join("") + "</tr>").join("n");
        }
