Shuffle Lines is optimized for practical randomization tasks such as exercises, draws, and randomized lists.
Example
Input: Question 1 to Question 5. Output: the same questions in a randomized order.
Use cases
- Randomize worksheet questions
- Shuffle classroom names
- Create randomized task lists
- Generate draw orders
Tips for better output
- Use a seed to save a reproducible question order.
- Add numbers when exporting the shuffled list.
- Use unique mode to avoid repeated draw entries.

FAQ
How do I shuffle lines randomly?
Paste one item per line and run the tool. The output contains the same lines in a shuffled order.
Can I repeat the same line shuffle later?
Yes. Use the same seed and same input to reproduce the same shuffled order.
Can empty lines be removed before shuffling?
Yes. Enable ignore empty lines to exclude blank lines from the shuffled result.
Can duplicate lines be removed before shuffling?
Yes. Choose unique lines only to remove duplicates before the shuffle runs.
How is Shuffle Lines different from Sort Lines Randomly?
Both randomize lines, but Shuffle Lines is framed for practical random draw and list randomization workflows.
