Four problems:
o point must be *in* the table before you call org-table-put (which
incidentally also answers your question below about multiple tables).
o line and column are integers: @2 and $2 is syntax for table formulas
in the spreadsheet, not for providing arguments to this function.
o quoting returns the quoted expression unevaluated, so the last line of
your function does not do anything much; in particular, it does *not*
call org-table-put at all (if it had you would have gotten an error).
o lisp functions are called like this: (func arg1 arg2 ...) and *not* like this:
(func (arg1 arg2 ...))
So your function should look something like this:
(defun add-word ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char <some-place-inside-the-table>)
(org-table-put 2 2 "word!" t)))
where you'll have to figure out how to get the point somewhere inside
the table. In the simplest case, providing a character position will
work, but is obviously not very general. I won't try to explain the
save-excursion here: see its documentation for more details.
I'd recommend you spend some time studying the "Introduction to Emacs Lisp"
guide:

HTH.
