Do you mean create random strings given those 3 letter? If that was the case, you could represent each letter by a number and use the Math.random function to randomize your strings. |

Do you mean random letters in the strings: string1 = "sdkfhj;ladfka" string2 = "adnsjknarun" string3 = "aksdncjkrn" or do u mean a random order of the strings you already have: str1,str2,str3 str2,str3,str1 str2,str1,str3 str3,str1,str2 ... |

I don't think it matters -- the process is the same (it's the same as one would generate a "random" number); the difference is in the alphabet of the target language. |

Well you could use Rand.Int (or randint, I forgot which is better) and make it choose from 1 to 3. Use if statements so that 1 would be r or whatever, 2 would be whatever and so on. Then just put the letters that correspond with the numbers (what you used in the if statement). I hope I am making this clear. |
