I declared an array:
char * words[1000] = {NULL};
And now I have a series of forked child processes adding words to that array, but they are not affecting the parent program. How can I change that?

Hmm, for your edit-case: Dont use fork, use threads, because then everything runs in one address-space…
And of course, then use mutexes to protect your words-array…
