List Shuffler

What it does

The List Shuffler (list randomizer) puts any list into a random order. Paste one item per line — names, questions, songs, tasks — and get back the same items in a shuffled sequence. The shuffle is unbiased (every ordering is equally likely) and, because it’s seeded, fully reproducible: the same seed and the same list always produce the same order.

Common use cases

• Classrooms — randomize presentation order, seating, or which student answers next, and keep a seed so the order can be re-derived if disputed.
• Playlists and queues — shuffle songs, talks, or agenda items without accidentally dropping or duplicating an entry.
• Fair task assignment — randomize the order of chores, code reviews, or on-call rotation candidates.
• Study decks and quizzes — reorder flashcards or question banks for each session.

Settings

• Items — your list, one item per line. Blank lines are ignored; the original list is never modified.
• Seed — leave blank for a fresh shuffle each time, or set one to make the order repeatable and auditable.

Privacy note

Shuffling happens entirely in your browser — your list is never uploaded, logged, or stored on a server. Still, avoid pasting confidential lists on a shared device, since saved recipes keep your settings locally.

FAQ

Is the shuffle fair? Yes — it uses an unbiased shuffle, so every possible ordering of your list has the same probability. No item is favored by position.

Can I reproduce the same order later? Yes. Reuse the same seed with the same input list and the shuffle is identical — useful when you need to prove a randomization after the fact.

Does shuffling change my original list? No. The output is a reordered copy; your input stays exactly as you pasted it, so you can reshuffle as many times as you like.

Can I use this to pick a winner? You can take the top item of a shuffle, but the Random Picker tool is built for that — it draws one or more items directly, with or without replacement.
