Okay well I had to where every x amount of time it would compare, and a new word would put up. But ideally, I'd like to set the amount of time between phrase changes and compare the new words after ten seconds. I tried adding a new listener, but it never compares the to. It will just sit there until it's time to change the phrases and changes them.
