Hi,

I know how to randomize 2 separate lists of trials/words, but is there a way to randomize the entire list and then split it into 2 halves with a break for the participant in between?

<block exampleBlock>
/ trials = [
    1-10, 12-21 = noReplace(aTrial,bTrial); // 10 A trials and 10 B trials in random order
    11 = breakTrial; // Break trial halfway
    ]
