Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does this tool shuffle words or full sentences?
It shuffles individual words by default based on the spaces between them. If you want to mix up full sentences, make sure they are formatted correctly in the input box so the tool can recognize the breaks.
2. Is there a limit to how many words I can shuffle at once?
No. There is no strict limit on the number of words you can paste into the input box. The tool easily handles large blocks of text, lists of hundreds of names, or small vocabulary sets without slowing down.
3. Will shuffling my text change the spelling of the words?
No. The tool only scrambles the order of the words in your list. It does not mix up the letters inside a single word, so your spelling and grammar remain perfectly intact.
4. Can I use this tool to pick a random giveaway winner?
Yes, absolutely. By pasting a list of participant names and clicking the shuffle button, you get a completely randomized list. The name that appears at the very top can serve as your fair, unbiased winner.
5. Does the tool save or store the text I enter?
Not at all. We value your privacy. The entire shuffling process runs locally using JavaScript in your own internet browser. Once you close or refresh the page, your text disappears forever.
6. Can I shuffle numbers and symbols too?
Yes. The tool treats numbers, symbols, and special characters just like regular words. Anything separated by a space or a new line will be shuffled into the random order.
7. How truly random is the shuffling algorithm?
The tool uses a trusted web-based randomization algorithm that guarantees a completely unbiased mix. Every single time you click the shuffle button, you will get a completely different, unpredictable result.
8. Can I undo a shuffle if I want my original text back?
The tool does not have an “undo” button. However, your original text will stay in the input box until you replace it or refresh the page, allowing you to easily copy it again if needed.
