grid position items

hello I am looking for a way to get my letters behind the placed letters thought it was with grid-auto-flow but this does not work. it must be: le main square festival and emptying places in the grid where there is no letter.

* {
    box-sizing: inherit;
}

html {
    font-size: 62.5%;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    background-image: url("/oefening3-square/assets/img/background.jpg");
    background-size: cover;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

.words {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 13rem);
    grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 13rem);
    width: 96rem;
    margin: 6rem;
    height: 60rem;
}

.words__letter {
    background-color: beige;
    display: flex;
    font-size: 10rem;
    justify-content: center;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    border: 2rem orange solid;
}

.words__letter--line1 {
    grid-area: 1 / 4;
}

.words__letter--line2 {
    grid-area: 2 / 3;
}

.words__letter--line3 {
