What this tool is built for
Shuffle names or tasks into a random order. Choose separators, remove duplicates, pin positions and split the result into groups.
The available controls include: Separator · Remove duplicates; Locked positions · Groups; Numbering · Compare with original; History · Download CSV.
For a quick result, you can use the tool directly on this page. If you need to run an activity with other people, create an account and use the dashboard to create and manage a shared room.
How to use it
Set up only the options you need, run the tool, then review the result and history before starting another round.
Paste names, tasks, teams, or any list with one item per line.
Shuffle the list to create a new fair order instantly.
Copy the shuffled order when you need to send it to other people.
What you can do
The page combines the core tool with controls that are specific to this task rather than a generic randomizer interface.
- Separator · Remove duplicates
- Locked positions · Groups
- Numbering · Compare with original
- History · Download CSV
- Shared rooms with participants, invitation links and access settings
Where it works well
The best setup depends on whether you need a single local result or a shared activity that other people can follow.
Turn order: Anna, Ben, Cara could become Cara, Anna, Ben.
Workshop: split twelve participants into three groups after shuffling.
Turn order: create a neutral sequence before a game, presentation, exercise or group discussion begins.
Teams: form groups, choose representatives or keep team results together during an activity.
Task allocation: randomize or distribute a list when several people need a fair starting order.
Classroom: choose pupils, create exercises, split groups or make turn-taking visible to everyone.
How the result is produced
Pinned positions remain fixed; only unpinned entries are shuffled. Duplicate removal changes the input list, so check it before generating groups.
Shared rooms add a controlled group workflow: the organizer can choose access rules, add participants or let them enter themselves, share a room link, and invite people by email. What participants can see or control depends on the room settings and their role.
Capabilities and limits
Use the tool for games, lessons, workshops and everyday organization. It is not intended to replace certified draws, regulated records, medical timing or other contexts that require an audited or authoritative system.
Practical tips
- Name entries clearly before starting so participants can understand the result without extra explanation.
- Check the important settings before sharing a room; viewers may not have the same controls as the organizer.
- Use history or exported results when the tool provides them instead of relying on screenshots alone.
