Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a line?
Any text segment separated by a newline character – exactly the same way your editor counts lines.
Are blank lines included in the shuffle?
Yes, blank lines are treated as valid entries and mixed in with the rest of the lines.
What about a single line?
A single line has only one possible order so it is returned unchanged.
What algorithm is used?
The tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle for a uniformly random, unbiased permutation of the lines.
Is the content of each line preserved?
Yes, line content is untouched – only the order of the lines changes.
Can I shuffle thousands of lines?
Yes, the algorithm is O(n) so even very large lists shuffle in milliseconds.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free with unlimited shuffles and no registration.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the initial page load everything runs in your browser with no server connection.
Is my input data private?
Yes, the shuffling happens locally so your text is never uploaded anywhere.
