Step-by-step instructions
Prepare the items
Put one complete item on each line. Keep information that belongs together on the same line so the shuffle treats it as one entry.
Choose the input settings
Use New line for a vertical list or Comma for a comma-separated list. Remove duplicates only when repeated entries should disappear.
Shuffle and keep the output
Select Randomize list. Read the new order from top to bottom, then copy or download the result before generating again.
Worked example
An introductory vocabulary exercise uses six words. The teacher wants the same material in a different sequence without accidentally separating each word from its clue.
One valid result is shown below. Your generated outcome will vary.
Example input
adapt compare describe infer predict summarize
Example result
1. compare 2. summarize 3. infer 4. adapt 5. predict 6. describe
All six entries remain available in a new order. If the activity needs paired information, include the definition on the same line as the word.
Match the input structure to the exercise
For a spelling check, shuffle words alone. For matching practice, retain a master word-definition list and shuffle the clue order separately, keeping stable IDs to check answers. Decide whether repeated words are deliberate review opportunities. Removing duplicates changes how often a word appears, so check that setting before copying the activity.
Settings and limits to check
The example has 6 retained entries. The list randomizer rearranges the supplied entries; it does not choose a subset. Blank lines are ignored, leading and trailing spaces are trimmed, and every retained entry appears in the result. Duplicate removal is case-sensitive. You can enter up to 10,000 items. New generations are independent, so an item may land in its original position or the entire order may occasionally repeat.
Settings used in this example
Remove duplicate entries: Off
Keep a usable copy of the result
Use Copy to place the current result in your own notes, or Download to keep a text file. Keep the eligible input list with the result when you need to explain which entries took part. A new generation replaces the displayed result rather than adding to a saved history.
The tool runs in your browser and does not upload your input. Save the result before refreshing or leaving the page. If other people need to use the same outcome, share your saved copy rather than asking them to generate another independent result.
Frequently asked questions
Will the tool create definitions or choose grade-appropriate words?
No. Supply the words and clues yourself. It only rearranges the entries.
Does randomizing guarantee a different position for every item?
No. A random shuffle can leave some items in place. The tool does not enforce a rule that every entry must move.
Can I save the randomized order?
Yes. Use Copy or Download while the result is displayed. The page does not keep a history, so save it before refreshing or generating again.
What should I check in the worked example?
All six entries remain available in a new order. If the activity needs paired information, include the definition on the same line as the word.
