The Ultimate List Randomizer Tool
A Random Input Generator, also known as a list randomizer or name picker, is a powerful tool designed to bring true randomness to any list of items. Whether you’re a teacher creating random student groups, a marketer picking a giveaway winner, or just someone trying to decide what to have for dinner, this tool eliminates bias and makes the selection process fair and fun.
How to Shuffle a List or Pick a Random Name
Our tool simplifies the process of randomizing any list. It works with various inputs:
- Names: Paste a list of names to randomly select winners, assign tasks, or create teams.
- Words: Enter a list of vocabulary words for a pop quiz or topics for a brainstorming session.
- Choices: Can’t decide? Enter your options (e.g., “Pizza, Tacos, Sushi”) and let fate choose for you.
The generator uses a robust shuffling algorithm (Fisher-Yates) to reorder your entire list or to pick one or more items from it, ensuring that every item has an equal chance of being selected.
Frequently Asked Questions
What format should my list be in?
You can separate your items with commas (e.g., “Apple, Banana, Cherry”) or by putting each item on a new line. The tool will automatically detect and parse your list either way.
How can I shuffle my entire list?
To shuffle the whole list, set the “Number of Items to Pick” to be equal to the total number of items in your list, and make sure “Allow Repeats” is turned off.
Where can I find other random generators?
You can find our full suite of tools, including letter, character, and number generators, on our main homepage.
Is there a limit to how many items I can enter?
While there is no strict limit, the tool is optimized for lists up to a few thousand items. Performance may vary for extremely large lists.
