Try something like this:

 for(int i = 0; i < wordString.Length; ++i)
 {
     GUILayout.Box(wordString[i]);
 }

You know, since strings are basically arrays.

That was sample code. Or did you need JavaScript? You didn't specify, so I posted in C#, as is my preference.

so as in java script...

its like : for( var i : int = 0 ; i < wordString.Length; i++){ GUILayout.Box(wordString[i]); }

am i right??

k.. the script worked.. only that when i put in the word BALL or some other word to the wordString...

it came out BALL as one word... but i want it to be like this B_A_L_L ... spelling out the word...

can it be done??

Yes, that's right- did it all come out as a single box, or in seperate boxes? You can always intersperse them with

 GUILayout.Space(10);
