This has been changed in swift 3. Note that this works with device but not playground or simulator

//store the array
let array = ["horse", "cow", "camel", "sheep", "goat"]

let defaults = UserDefaults.standard

defaults.setValue(array, forKey: "history")

defaults.synchronize()

//Retrieve the array
if((UserDefaults.standard.array(forKey: "history")) != nil){
    let historyWords = (UserDefaults.standard.array(forKey: "history") as? [String])!
    print(historyWords)
}
