List Randomizer

Enter one name, task, number, topic, activity, or other item on each line, then select Shuffle list. Every eligible line is returned in a newly randomized sequence.

The tool supports between 2 and 500 non-empty items. Blank lines are ignored, so they do not occupy positions in the shuffled result.

Your input remains available while the result appears separately. Use Shuffle again to create another order from the same current list.

This tool creates a random permutation of the complete eligible list. If you enter 20 usable lines, the result contains those same 20 entries in a different order.

It does not choose a winner, remove an item, create teams, or return a smaller random sample. Every eligible entry receives one position in the shuffled result.

Use the Random Name Picker when you need one or several selected people. Use the Random Team Generator when you need to divide a roster into balanced-size groups.

Repeated lines are preserved by default. If the same text appears three times in the input, it appears three times in the shuffled result because each row represents a separate item.

Keeping duplicates is useful when repeated rows are intentional. A person may have several presentation slots, a task may need to be completed more than once, or repeated entries may represent separate tickets.

Review the input before shuffling when every item should appear only once. An accidental duplicate remains part of the result unless you enable Remove duplicate entries.

Enable Remove duplicate entries to keep only the first occurrence of each exact matching item before the list is shuffled.

Duplicate removal happens before randomization. The Input count continues to show the parsed roster size, while the Eligible count shows how many entries remain after duplicates are removed.

Matching is case-sensitive. For example, Design, design, and DESIGN remain separate entries because their capitalization differs.

Duplicate removal affects only the generated result. It does not permanently delete repeated lines from the text you entered.

Select Shuffle again to generate another random arrangement from the same entered list. The tool does not repeatedly shuffle the displayed result or require you to paste the items again.

Select Restore original to clear the shuffled result and return the parsed items to their original entered order.

The restored text is normalized to one usable item per line. Ignored blank lines and other unused input formatting are not recreated.

Randomization does not guarantee that every item moves. Some entries may remain in their previous positions, especially in a short list.

The complete original order is also a mathematically possible result. A list of three distinct items has six possible arrangements, and the starting arrangement is one of those six.

Two consecutive shuffles can also produce the same order. A repeated arrangement does not by itself prove that the randomizer failed.

Every eligible item receives one position in each generated list, but a small number of shuffles does not guarantee that every item will appear first, last, or in every position equally often.

The same person could appear near the beginning in several separate shuffles. That is possible in independent random arrangements and does not automatically indicate unequal treatment.

When you need a controlled rotation in which every participant occupies each position over time, create and track a rotation schedule instead of generating unrelated random orders.

Enter one speaker or group on each line to create a complete presentation order. The first shuffled entry can present first, followed by each remaining name in sequence.

Keep repeated names when a speaker has more than one separate slot. Enable duplicate removal when matching rows were added accidentally.

Copy or download the result before the session so the order remains available after the page is closed.

Shuffle a task list when every item needs to be completed but the order is flexible. This can help create a neutral starting sequence for chores, reviews, exercises, maintenance work, or a backlog.

A random order does not consider urgency, dependencies, duration, skill, or priority. Review the result before using it when one task must happen before another or when some work is more important.

Repeated tasks remain repeated by default, which is useful when the same action genuinely needs to occur several times.

Teachers can randomize student names for a speaking order, questions for revision, topics for discussion, activities for a lesson, or stations for a classroom rotation.

Because the complete list is returned, every entered item remains visible. This makes the randomizer suitable when all topics or participants need a place rather than when only one should be selected.

Random order can reduce manual preference, but teachers should still review accessibility, learning-support, safeguarding, and timing requirements.

Select Copy to place the shuffled items on your clipboard with one item on each line. The result can then be pasted into a document, spreadsheet, message, presentation, or planning tool.

Select Download .txt to save the current shuffled result as . The file contains the same one-item-per-line text displayed in the result box.

Copying and downloading do not change the original input or generate a new shuffle.

Parsing, optional duplicate removal, randomization, formatting, copying, and text-file creation happen in your browser. Your list is not added to the page URL.

The tool does not permanently save the input or result. Keep a copy of any order you need before refreshing or closing the page.

This randomizer is suitable for ordinary planning, classroom activities, games, speaking orders, queues, and informal draws. It does not produce an independently audited record or formal proof of fairness for regulated contests, valuable prizes, employment decisions, or other high-stakes processes.
