A faulty Java prgm

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.print("Enter a word to make a riddle: ");
        answer = br.readLine();
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(answer);
        j=answer.length();  //for "razer", it return 4 or 5??
        char riddle[] = new char[j];
        Random rd = new Random();
        for(j=answer.length();j>=1;j--)
        {
            //Generate a random index to retrieve.
            int idx=rd.nextInt(j-1);

            //Copy the character to riddle[]
            riddle[j-1] = sb.charAt(idx);
            sb.deleteCharAt(j-1);
        }
        System.out.println("The riddle is: " + riddle.toString());
    
        for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
        {
            if(answer.equalsIgnoreCase(br.readLine()))
            {
                System.out.println("You are correct!");
                return;
            }
            else
                System.out.println("Oops, it's INCORRECT! Try again. ("+(i-1)+" chances left.)");
        }
        /*
        if(answer.equalsIgnoreCase(br.readLine()))

         */
    }
}
 

I want this program to obtain a input and then shuffle the sequence of the letter and output as a riddle.

Then user must guess what is the original word.

But during the compilation, I got "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" error, but I can not find which code occur this error. Would you like to debug for me??

Thanks for anyone who replied!
