    You should show us how you copied the characters into the array to begin with.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    This is the code
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    void shuffle(char *array, size_t n)
    {
      if (n > 1) {
        size_t i;
        for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
          size_t j = i + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (n - i) + 1);
          char *t = array[j];
          array[j] = array[i];
          array[i] = t;
        }
      }
    }
    
    int main()
    {
      char a[5][20] = {
        "singular","wanttome","experience","levelup","babyboy"
      };
    char *word = (char*) malloc(6);
      int i,rndm,cndtn=0;
    char *comp= (char*) malloc(6);
    char z[100],msg[1000];
      srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
    rndm = rand()%5;
      for (i = 0; i < strlen(a[0]); i++)
        z[i] = a[rndm][i];
    printf("%d\n",strlen(z));
    shuffle(z,strlen(z));
    printf("Clues :");
    //  for (i = 0; i < strlen(z); i++)
        printf("%s",z);
    printf("\n");
      return 0;
    }
    i want to make the word shuffle....
