Loop through random letters without repeats

For each row of JRadioButtons I've created through a loop, I'm finding it difficult to ensure that no letters are repeated for each row. I don't mind if the same letters exist on different rows though.


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance.


Below is the relevant code:



//loop for making flow layout for each line of random letters
//counter for having number of the row next to each row in order of selection
int counter = x;
//array of booleans
boolean[] responses = new boolean[x];
for(int i = 0; i < x; i++)
{

//new jpanel created for every row needed for the word
JPanel jpLine = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());

//new jlabel made with counter number for each row
JLabel count = new JLabel(Integer.toString(counter));
jpLine.add(count);
counter--;
//random number from 0-5 generated for each row
Random number = new Random();
int low = 0;
int high = 5;
int ranNumber = number.nextInt((high - low) + low);

//buttongroup outside loop so only one button can be pressed for each row
ButtonGroup bg = new ButtonGroup();

//get selected button's index in any group with bg.getSelection().getActionCommand()
final int row = i;

ActionListener listener = new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

String action = e.getActionCommand();

if (action.equals("Incorrect")) {
responses[row] = false;
}
else {
responses[row] = true;
//System.out.println("row " + row);
//System.out.println("btn " + action);
}

if(checkAnswers(responses) == true)
{
correct.setText("<html><font color = 'white'>correct</font></html>");
}

}
};

//loop for making the number of letters in each row - always going to be 6 letters to choose from in each row
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
//if the random number generated for each row equals the loop
//then new radiobutton will be created for the ith letter of the reversed
//answer, starting from charAt 0 and going to the last character
if(ranNumber == j)
{
JRadioButton answerLetter = new JRadioButton("<html><font color = 'white'>" + answerForGrid.charAt(i) + "</font></html>");

bg.add(answerLetter);
answerLetter.setBackground(Color.decode("#566771"));
answerLetter.setOpaque(true);
jpLine.add(answerLetter);

//use setActionCommand("" + j) on each button to associate each button with its index
answerLetter.setActionCommand("" + j);
answerLetter.addActionListener(listener);

}

//ranLetter is generated randomly from the alphabet string, so random letters are
//created for each jradiobutton
final String alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
final int N = alphabet.length();

Random letter = new Random();
char ranLetter;

while(true)
{
ranLetter = alphabet.charAt(letter.nextInt(N));
break;
}

JRadioButton k = new JRadioButton("<html><font color = 'white'>" + ranLetter + "</font></html>");

bg.add(k);
k.setBackground(Color.decode("#566771"));
k.setOpaque(true);
jpLine.add(k);
k.setActionCommand("Incorrect");
k.addActionListener(listener);


}
//add each row of letters (jpLine) to this loops jpanel
jpCenterCenter.add(jpLine);


}
