Hangman

I've been working on a Hangman program lately and I've ran into a problem: every time the program runs, the word never randomizes, and there are always 5 underscores. Could someone please help?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
(sorry for the messy code)

Edit & run on cpp.sh



Output everytime:

Try putting a break; after each theword = "...", otherwise, the checking keeps dropping down, and theword changes with it, till it gets to the last word, and that is the one it stops at.
