[solved]Shuffle array of integers to randomize setCursor() & lcd.print()

I looked at your code, didn't see anything immediately wrong, but not knowing what "col" is for example doesn't help.

If this is any use, this is a shuffle example I wrote a while back:

// -- see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher-Yates_shuffle

void shuffle (int * t, int n)
  {
  while (--n >= 2)
    {
    // n is now the last pertinent index
    int k = random (n); // 0 <= k <= n - 1
    // Swap
    int temp = t [n];
    t [n] = t [k];
    t [k] = temp;
    } // end of while
 
  }  // end of shuffle

const int NUM = 30;  // how many

void setup ()
{
  int t [NUM];
  
  // populate table
  for (int i = 0; i < NUM; i++)
    t [i] = i;
    
  // shuffle it
  shuffle (t, NUM);
  
  // print table
  Serial.begin (115200);
  for (int i = 0; i < NUM; i++)
    Serial.println (t [i]);
}  // end of setup

void loop () {}
