Riddles, while perceived as a past time activity for kids, have educational features that enhances the logical thinking of a person. In this paper, the researchers aimed to develop a logical guessing riddle mobile gaming application that focuses on randomization of questions in the game by selecting the index together with the same generated number and derived from combining the words wit and wisdom. It also has educational features that enhances the logical thinking of a person, and improves the cultural awareness and linguistic aspect of a person. The algorithm can determine how many questions the riddle game has and that total number of questions will be considered as the length of an array that used for Fisher Yates algorithm. Each array has its own corresponding index. The index is always starting with zero up to the last number of array. The researchers set a random values and it always greater than or equal 0 and less than the index.
