Put a list of names in a random order, for turns in a game, class presentations or speakers at a meeting. Paste one name per line.
How it works
- Type or paste your list, one name per line. You need at least two, and up to 100 are shuffled.
- Press Shuffle, or Space or Enter on a keyboard.
- The names flicker and land place by place, from first to last. Press Shuffle again for a new order, or Edit list to change the names.
Questions
- Is the order fair?
- Yes. The list is shuffled with random numbers from your browser's cryptographic generator, so every possible order is equally likely. The whole order is drawn before the names move, and the animation only shows it.
- How long can the list be?
- Up to 100 lines. If you paste more, only the first 100 are shuffled and the page tells you so. Empty lines are skipped, and a name written twice appears twice.
- What can I use it for?
- Anything that needs a turn order: who presents first, who goes next in a game, the order of speakers at a meeting. To split people into groups instead, use the team generator.
- Do I need an account, and does it cost anything?
- No. The random order tool is free, needs no sign-up, has no ads and works on phone and computer.
