I tested this on two boards with a different number of terms available and got the same result: Out of a million tries every term is called roughly the same number of times which means (at least to me) that the array_rand() function which selects a term is working as randomly as it possibly could.

Since it may be possible that the usage of another PHP version and/or phpBB version may make a difference would you please tell me what versions of PHP and phpBB you are using?

One of the boards (phpBB 3.3.11) runs on PHP 8.2.12 but there should not be any unduly differences so at the moment I have no idea why the random selection of a term behaves so strange on your board.

If you are willing to try it I can PM you the file with the test Hangman main controller so I can take a look at the numbers of your board.

I have no idea what that means! :lol:

But fine, if you want to PM me with the details of what's involved, I'll certainly have a think about it, thanks.

At the moment, I've created a Dutch .xml file with 1022 word, proverbs and sayings.
