As others have said, you can use 'IN'. You could also use UNION (although I
don't think I would, personally, for quite what you want!):
SELECT word FROM word_table WHERE id = 1
UNION
SELECT word FROM word_table WHERE id = 2
Etc. Assuming your version of MySQL supports the UNION operator!

You want the IN operator:
