Arrays of characters are called strings:

   word : string (1..50);   -- anonymous declaration

or

   type Word_Type is string (1..50);
   word : Word_Type;

Of course, nothing stops you from declaring:

   type Word_Type is array (1..50) of character;
   word : Word_Type;

But, there are advantages to using strings, including
predefined packages for doing various things.

As far as arrays of words, you will have to grow
your own.  You could use something like:

   type Word_Array is array (1..100) of Word_Type;

or, a little more dynamic:

   type Word_Array is array (1..100) of
           Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String;

Plus, a hundred other variations.
