If you want all the words on different lines you need to set the deliiter to \n:

l = ['hello','how','are','you']
import  csv

with open("out.csv","w") as f:
    wr = csv.writer(f,delimiter="\n")
    wr.writerow(l)

Output:

hello
how
are
you

If you want a trailing comma:

with open("out.csv","w") as f:
    wr = csv.writer(f,delimiter="\n")
    for ele in l:
        wr.writerow([ele+","])

Output:

hello,
how,
are,
you,

I would recommend just writing the elements without the trailing comma, there is no advantage to having a trailing comma but may well cause you problems later.
