Let ([ numletters = Length ( theText ); current = Int ( Random * numletters ) + 1; currletter = Middle (theText; current ; 1 ); remain = Left ( theText ; current - 1 ) & "" & Middle ( theText ; current + 1 ; numletters - current )]; currletter & "" & If (numletters > 2 ; JumbleWords ( remain ) ; Trim ( remain ) )) Click to copy

I am new to custom functions and have found this library to be invaluable. I was trying to make a word scramble generator for some classroom worksheets. I used the Jumble custom function on this list but changed it from scrambling words to scrambling letters. I think it works okay, but it seems to keep double letters together a lot. If I recalculate a couple of times, it seems to work fine.
