This list randomizer shuffles the lines you paste into a random order using a fair Fisher–Yates shuffle. It is perfect for prize draws, picking teams, deciding turn order and any time you need an unbiased random arrangement.

How to use the list randomizer

  1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. Click Shuffle to reorder it randomly.
  3. Copy the shuffled list — shuffle again any time for a new order.

Fair, unbiased shuffling

The tool uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, the standard method for shuffling a list so that every possible order is equally likely. That matters for anything meant to be fair: unlike sorting or eyeballing a reorder, a proper shuffle has no hidden bias toward items near the top or bottom.

Everyday uses

  • Giveaways — paste entrant names and take the top of the shuffled list.
  • Teams & turns — randomise who goes first or who is on which side.
  • Study — shuffle flashcard prompts so you do not memorise the order.
  • Playlists & menus — mix up any ordered list.
