Frequently asked questions
- Is the shuffle truly random?
- It uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm with the browser random generator, which gives a uniform, unbiased order suitable for everyday use.
- Can I use it to pick a random winner?
- Yes. Shuffle your list of names and take the top line as the random pick.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Shuffling happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
