Settings and General > Personalisation > Language > Predictive text.

2To write the desired word, press the keys 2–9. Press each key only once for one letter. For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected, press 6 for N, 6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.

The word suggestion changes after each keypress.
