About the Shuffle Lines

Shuffle Lines randomly reorders every line in your text using the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which gives each possible arrangement an equal chance. Paste a list of names, tasks, questions or any items and get a genuinely random order in one click.

It is useful for drawing raffle orders, randomizing quiz questions, mixing playlists, or sampling data. Press Shuffle again for a fresh order any time, and use cryptographically strong randomness where your browser supports it.

The shuffle runs entirely in your browser, so your list is never sent to a server. That keeps private data private and lets the tool work without an internet connection.

Frequently asked questions

Is the shuffle truly random?

Yes. It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm with your browser's cryptographic random generator where available, so every possible line order is equally likely.

Can I shuffle the same list again?

Absolutely. Click the Shuffle button as many times as you like — each press produces a new independent random order.

Does it keep blank lines?

Blank lines are treated as items and are shuffled along with the rest. Remove them first if you want only non-empty lines mixed.

Is my list sent to a server?

No. The shuffle happens entirely in your browser, so your text stays on your device and the tool works offline.
