Scramble a word

A block that will scramble a specific word or words.

Currently I can do this with my API, however network requests are limited so I would love to see this feature added.

Thank you.

This is possible via string block already and is likely too specific to be added natively. Consider making a custom block for it if you need to use it often. I’ve given you a way to do it before in #support in Discord.

I took what you said and applied my knowledge from inventor (still new) and did some trial and error. Unfortunately the results were only all errors.

Botghost has a feature where you can grab a letter from a word by manipulating the text pulling a specific index. Which is what i was ultimately looking for in inventor and I did not see a way (unless I just missed it)

pulling a letter from a specific index will help me achieve my goal as I can then move the letters around

If this is already a feature and its just named as something else then what I’m use to then I apologize.

I’ll make a custom block for it tomorrow. It might be good to suggest a “Get Character X of String” block natively though.

I’m attempting to get something created as well, so far no luck. I am learning new things everyday though so I might have a breakthrough soon.

I agree that is a good suggestion.

Edit: Not sure if I can close this post, but you can disregard this request as zammer is right. It’s a very specific use case.

Not to mention, the other block I suggested got approved so this is not needed.

This was pretty much what I was planning on doing, but he explained it better than I could lol

I think scrambling character order in a string might be worth implementing - properly doing it randomly is pretty complex and can be bound to the length of the string, so a block might be useful.

On the other hand, I think scrambling a word or sentence (where it’s space separated, each word is scrambled, and re-assembled back into the sentence) would be too complex and niche for a built-in block. But you could use the first block to trivially put together the second.

Yes, closing.
