#print out words in a random order

import random


word = ["blue", "red", "yellow"]

random = random.choice(word)



if random == "blue":

    print "blue"

    del word[0]

    print random

elif random =="red":

    print "red"

    del word[1]

else:

    print "yellow"

    del word[2]

    print word

        


raw_input("press")

"Create a program that prints a list of words in random order. The program should print all the words and not repeat any."

Any help?

while word:

    word.remove(r)

    

raw_input("press...\n")

.remove() removes only one item, so you have to do a loop, otherwise you will get equal items if the list is word = ["blue", "red", "yellow", "red"]
