The way you have this set up it will not even show random words?

To show random words the correct way it would look like the below:

import UIKit
import GameKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let words = ["Cat","Dog","Bird","Butterfly", "Fish"]

    @IBOutlet weak var showLabel: UILabel!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func randomWords() -> String {
        let randomNumber = GKRandomSource.sharedRandom().nextInt(upperBound: words.count)
        return words[randomNumber]
    }

    @IBAction func showWord(_ sender: Any) {



        showLabel.text = randomWords()
    }


}

I did a few things different from your code (which I believe your code will not run)

Import GameKit 2 Create a function to handle the randomization

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

In order like the same order you have them in the Array?
