    Help With Random Number Generator

    If I had 6 Words and I want the user to randomly receive one of the 6 words every time they entered 1 how would I write that?

    First you seed the random number generator with something like the current time. You do this with the srand() function.

    Then, every time the user enters 1, you use rand() to pick a random index into your array of 6 words.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
