Assigning array values and deleting them from array after assigned

Question

I'm working on a trivia game and running into a problem that i don't know how to solve. In the game the player must guess what's on a photo. They get 14 letters, which are all stored in an array (7 letters are the answer of the photo and 7 letters are random generated).

I need to assign all the letters from the array to a random ui.text (or something else). After the letter is assigned is must be delete from the array. That way i can't be picked and/or assigned again. This has to loop until the array is empty and all the letters are assigned to an ui.text

I'm a bit of a beginner i'm stuck on how to do this. Can somebody please help me with this problem? :) That would be awesome!

Thanks!!

Lists would probably be your best shot since you can add and remove references from it.

Thanks for your response. I'm using Javascript... Is using lists the way to go, to solve this problem? In the links you gave they are talking about C#.

import System.Collections.Generic;

public var myList : List.; // Insert TYPE (gameobject, float, or w/e, lists are generic so they don't care about what goes into them as long as they are all the same type originally designated)

i personally use c# so im not positive on all the correct syntax but it should be easily translated into java from c#
