Shuffle Lines
Randomly shuffle the order of lines in a list or text.
Sometimes order is the enemy: quiz questions shouldn't follow the textbook sequence, presentation slots shouldn't favor whoever signed up first, and A/B test variants shouldn't ship in a predictable order. Shuffling a list fairly is precisely what humans are bad at — we unconsciously pattern even our "random" orderings.
Paste a list — one item per line — and this tool reorders it with the Fisher–Yates algorithm, the standard for unbiased shuffling. Every permutation is equally likely, and a reshuffle button lets you draw again until the fairness gods smile.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Shuffling with blank lines in the list — they get shuffled too; clean the list first.
- Re-shuffling until a desired order appears, which defeats the fairness the tool provides.
