Working on a new game that is similar to Word Bomb on Roblox. I wanted to randomize the letters but don't know how. Any solutions? Thanks!

alph contains all the letters in the alphabet.

(item (pick random (1) to (length of [alph v] :: list)) of [alph v] :: list) // instead of (length of [alph v]), you can type 26

Thanks!

One more question. how do I get the sprite to say both letters? It seems to only say true.

when I receive [WordBombLetter v]
forever
say [Find a word that has the letters...] for (2) secs
ask <(item ((pick random (1) to (length of [alph] :: list)) ) of [alph v] :: list) and ((pick random (1) to (length of [alph] :: list)) ) of [alph v] :: list)> and wait
end

NO NOT LIKE THAT

(join (...) (...))

You can put those reporters in booleans but not other reporters.
It's unique and learn about Logic gates

Okay, it works now. Thanks again!

Sure thing. Thanks again!

One more question before I really stop asking.
How do you make it where a word contains the 2 letters presented on the screen are valid?
For example, the two letters shown are sh.
I put pushed in the answer section.
Then, instead of “Amazing!”, it instead says “You lost a life.” which is the win-lose greeting.
How do I do it? Thanks!

Not sure if I am understanding your question right, but you are asking how to check whether the two letters are contained in the answer, right?

If so, you will need to instead store the random letters in a variable so you can use the same letters multiple times.

See this example:

when I receive [WordBombLetter v]
forever
say [Find a word that has the letters...] for (2) secs
set [letters v] to (join (item (pick random (1) to (length of [alph v]::list)) of [list v] :: list) (item (pick random (1) to (length of [alph v]::list)) of [list v] :: list))
ask (letters) and wait
if <(answer) contains (letters)?::operators> then 
... // the two letters were in the answer
else
... // the two letters were not in the answer
end

Note that this assumes you want to be detecting the two letters together, e.g. the sh in pushed and not the individual letters s and h in a word like hats.

ask (letters) and wait
if <(answer) contains (letters)?::operators> then

Yep, this works! Thank you! Might also look at your game because it looks epic.
