Random words is useful when you run out of ideas and it helps you to stimulates new ideas. Think about other things about which the word reminds you. Follow associations to see where they go and most importantly, think openly. Set no boundaries. By thinking this way, you will usually get new ideas because you force yourself to think differently in an unconventional way.
When it comes to problem solving, random words work. Relate your problem to the random word you chose and try to elaborate it. After you got a rough idea, relate everything in your mind back to the problem and your problem can be easily solved.
