List Shuffler: a quick guide

Shuffle any list into a fair, random order with a single click.

Picking a presentation order, drawing a name from a hat, randomising a workout playlist: lots of small tasks need a list shuffled. The ChrysoKit List Shuffler does it in seconds with cryptographic randomness.

Why use it

Spreadsheet shuffling is slow and pseudo-random. A focused tool is faster and more honest about the randomness it provides.

How to use the List Shuffler

  1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. Press shuffle.
  3. Copy the new order out.
  4. Shuffle again if you want a different order.

Features worth knowing

Mathematically uniform; every order is equally likely.

Pro tips

  • If two shuffles in a row look 'too similar', that is just randomness. Random does not mean 'visibly mixed'.
  • For draws (one winner from a list), the first item after shuffle is your pick. Document the seed if anyone needs to verify.
  • Long lists shuffle just as fast as short ones.

Privacy first. The List Shuffler runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.

Whenever order does not matter and fairness does, the List Shuffler is the right tool.
