?Frequently Asked Questions
How does the list randomizer work?
The tool assigns a random position to each item using Fisher-Yates shuffle — ensuring a fair, unbiased result. This algorithm is widely used in statistics and computer science for its ability to produce truly random permutations.
Can I remove duplicates before shuffling?
Yes, simply toggle 'Remove Duplicates' to clean your list before randomizing. This is useful when you need unique items in your randomized list.
Is this list randomizer really random?

What are group size options for?
Group size allows you to split your randomized list into evenly sized teams or chunks. This is perfect for dividing people into teams, creating study groups, or organizing items into batches.
