About the Randomisation Algorithm
This tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which is considered the gold standard for unbiased random shuffling. Every possible permutation of your list has an equal probability of occurring, ensuring a truly fair random order.
The randomisation is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript's cryptographically secure random number generator where available, falling back to Math.random() for older browsers.
Privacy Note
Your list items are never sent to our servers. All randomisation happens locally in your browser, so your data stays completely private.
