Friend Here i CODED the Random Matrix Logic static void Main( string [] args) { Random r = new Random (); List string > list = new List string >(); List string > answerkeys = new List string >(); List string > FinalQuestionList = new List string >(); //Add Blank Items to List for ( int i = 0; i { list.Add(  ); } for ( int i=0;i { Console .WriteLine( Enter Word you Want to Hide in Matrix : ); list[r.Next(015)]= Console .ReadLine(); } answerkeys = list; Console .WriteLine( **********************Question Matrix ************************ ); foreach ( string str in list) { string CompleteWord = str; if (CompleteWord.Length { //Add Random Characters in String while (CompleteWord.Length != 15) { CompleteWord += (( char )r.Next(65 90)).ToString(); } FinalQuestionList.Add(CompleteWord); } } //Show The Matrix foreach ( string str in FinalQuestionList) { char [] wordSplit = str.ToCharArray(); for ( int i = 0; i { Console .Write(wordSplit[i].ToString() +   ); } Console .Write( 
 ); } //Print Answers Console .WriteLine(
