How to cycle through random letters and make a word

Questions & Answers
1

The below code is what I’ve come up with so far to do what I want. Basically I want to have a string (in this case SEAMLESS) and for each letter in this string I want to cycle through random letters until they are the same. When they are the same I want to save them in the array of letters and then at the end form the word. The goal is to get an effect similar to [this][1] but with letters instead of numbers.

public string word = "SEAMLESS";
    private string builtWord;
    public char[] letters;
    public Text displayBox;
    string uppercaseAlphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

    private void Start()
    {
        letters = word.ToCharArray();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < letters.Length; i++)
        {
            char randomLetter = UppercaseLetter();

            while (randomLetter != letters*)*

{
letters = randomLetter;
print("letter: " + letters);
print("random letter: " + randomLetter);

if (randomLetter == letters*)*
{
builtWord = builtWord + letters*;*
print("built word: " + builtWord);
return;
}

randomLetter = UppercaseLetter();
return;
}

if (randomLetter == letters*)*
{

}
}
}

public char UppercaseLetter()
{
char letter = uppercaseAlphabet[Random.Range(0, uppercaseAlphabet.Length)];
//letter = (char)(‘A’ + Random.Range(0, 26)); //Alternative way of getting letter using ASCII

return letter;
}
