Hi everybody!
Here is a new fun challenge for your RPA skills!
This time we will teach our robot to play a word chain game with two letters!
The robot has to perform these steps:
- Get the last post from this topic: RPA Challenge Word Chain - #8 by roman.hruska
- Get the last two letters from the last word
- Search for a new word that starts with these two letters
- Use for example this website: Words that start with | Words starting with (or any other)
- In case of no matching word (for example on letters ss), kick new word out using for example this website: https://randomwordgenerator.com/
- Add new word as the last word of a new post in the topic.
- Add some text (you can mention if it is a new word or chained word) since a post must have at least 20 characters.
I already trained my robot, so you can get an idea.

- How to reach the last row in DataTable? → dt.Rows(dt.Rows.count-1)
- How to get the last two letter from a string? → text.Substring(text.Length-2)
How to participate
When you are happy with your robot:

The challenge deadline is 9.5. by the end of the day. You can still submit your projects after the deadline but you cannot earn robopoints. A new challenge is published every week or 2 weeks so don’t worry if you did not catch this one.
