randomize a word in a textbox

how can randomize a word in a textbox, for example if the word is cat it would randomize the letters to like cta or tac or something?

i would store the letters in an arraylist, then in a loop, call random numbers which pick from the arraylist and remove each lette rone by one.

VB Code:

dim chr() As Char = "somewhere".ToCharArray
dim Letters As New Arraylist
For each c as char in chr
 Letters.Add(c)
Next

then when you make the word, perform a loop, use randomize to pick a random number between 0 and (letters.count-1), and dont forget to .removeAt the index picked, so that it is not picked again.

Hope i explained well enough

i'm sorry but can you explain the random solution again, i don't understand.

VB Code:

Dim newWord as string
dim r as random
dim i as integer
Do While Letters.Count > 0
  i = r.Next(Letters.Count-1)
  newWord &= Letters(i)
  Letters.RemoveAt(i)
Loop

that loops, picking randomly from the array of letters until no more letters are left to choose from

VB Code:

Dim myArrayList As New ArrayList
 
myArrayList.AddRange(myString.ToCharArray())

to add the items to a listbox would i got listbox1.add.items(newword) right before the loop?

right after the loop, that loop constructs newWord
