Don't be so hard on yourself :)

I'm not completely certain what you were wanting to happen, this works for
me, and seems to behave in pretty much the same way your looked like it
wanted to behave.

def create_word
  Array('b'..'z').shuffle[0..6].join
end

list = Array.new
100.times { list << create_word }

puts list
