How random is the randomization?

The tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which is the gold standard for creating truly random permutations. This ensures each item has an equal probability of appearing in any position, making it perfect for fair random selections and lottery draws.

Can I reproduce the same randomization results?

Yes, the tool offers a seeding option that allows you to generate the same randomized order again using the same seed value. This is useful for reproducibility in research, testing, or when multiple parties need the same randomization.

Does it work with large lists?

Yes, the tool efficiently handles large lists using optimized algorithms. However, for extremely large lists (thousands of items), you might experience slightly longer processing times, but the randomization will still be fast and accurate.

What happens to duplicate items?

The tool treats each line as a separate item, so if you have duplicate lines in your list, each occurrence will be treated as a separate item in the randomization. This maintains the exact composition of your original list while shuffling the order.

Can I randomize only specific parts of my list?

Currently, the tool randomizes the entire list. If you want to randomize only specific sections, you can copy those sections separately, randomize them individually, and then combine the results as needed.

Is this suitable for official draws and contests?

Yes, the Fisher-Yates algorithm used by this tool is considered cryptographically secure for randomization purposes and is widely used in official draws, lottery systems, and fair selection processes.
