Where do the letters go?

First you need to remember is that the grid that we generated is basically the playing field. Every index in the 2D array will contain a letter. But how do we decide where to place the letters? Try to come up with at least 3 solutions.

How did it go? Did you come up with some solutions? I am sure you did! Here are some of the solutions that I thought of:

• Hide every answer horizontally on consecutive lines.
• Hide all the answers vertically, all next to each other.
• Use a random number generator.

I know what you are thinking! "Those solutions look stupid, the first 2 are too easy and the last one doesn't make sense."

You might not have encountered a random number generator before but they are used a lot in games. The random numbers, make them unpredictable and therefore also more fun! We can use such a generator to randomly decide if the answers are hidden horizontally or vertically. So whenever a programmer thinks about something random, its most likely about a random number generator
