Depends on what’s in the array. If it’s an array of strings or numbers, you should be able to do something like this:

And with this, you can also put , between the elements.

What do you need it for specifically?

You had something with a variable `word`, but you never gave it a value, so the words were undefined or null (I think). I also replaced the change generating with the %chance block, and added `separately do` from the timers extension, because otherwise, after generating like 50 words, it would crash from stack overflow.

The blocks that positioned the menu where you wanted were putting it off-screen for some reason, so I removed them. Don’t forget to add them to make the menu look the way you want

In js you can do `myArray.join(", ")`, but its not in blocks. I think @WoofWoof’s [extension](https://forum.makecode.com/t/making-an-extension-for-every-javascript-exclusive-feature-i-can-think-of/36766) might have it.
