Can someone help me?
I need something for my website, preferably HTML, and I want it to say a new tip every time you refresh the page or go to the site.
Can someone help?

You can't do that with HTML since it doesn't generate random numbers. HTML code is mainly for displaying pages not generating dynamic content.
That has a bad word in it

Re: Can someone help me?
var x = (Math.floor(Math.random()*4) ) +1
Change the 4 to change the number of options (e.g. a 5 would give you 5 options, a 3 would give you 3 options)
What the code does:
Declares a variable (x), sets the variable to a random number between 1 and 4, and runs the result through an if-else-else-else-else... statement.
