You have an infinite loop. The predicate of the while loop would always
evaluate to 'true' and never become 'false'.

Try the following snippet with suitable variations.
(setq word-list (list "apple" "orange" "lemon" "baseball" "football"))
(defun test-table (word-list)
(let ((line 0) (column 3))
(mapcar (lambda (word)
(org-table-put i column word t))
word-list)))
