# Controlling field hints and field size by column in a grid of input fields

I want to have field hints in a 3 x 2 grid input fields, such that there is one hint specific to the input fields in the 1st column and another one for the 2nd column.

I also want to adjust the field size of the two columns.

Doubts:

1.Should the value of InputField be a string if FieldHint is used. (As shown in Figure 1)

InputField["", String, FieldHint -> "Enter Text here"]
InputField["", Number, FieldHint -> "Enter Number here"]


2.Is this a better way to manage a grid properties (As shown in figure 2)

Grid[Table[
InputField["", String, FieldHint -> "Enter Force",
FieldSize -> {w, h}], {h, {1, 1, 1, 1}}, {w, {5, 3}}]]


3.Does assigning a grid to a variable and manipulating the variable make sense. If not what are the other ways to implement this logic.(As shown in figure 3)
