Shuffle the order

The list you write in is put into a random order.

List

Names or items (one per field)

Fill a field and the next one appears. Two to twelve items can be shuffled.

The order

Press Shuffle and the order appears here.

The order lives on screen only.

How the shuffle works

It walks the list from the back, swapping each item with any slot at or before it. Done this way, every order that can come out is as likely as every other.

Can the same order come up again

It can. Each shuffle starts fresh and does not steer around the last result — the fewer items there are, the more often the same order comes back.

What it is for

Presentation order, turns in a game, whose week it is to clean. The order you get can be sent on as a share link.

How is the share link built

Share puts the items you wrote and the result into the address and builds a link. Opening that link shows the same order. It holds up to 10 characters per field and up to 12 items — past that the address gets cut in messaging apps.

The address is scrambled so the values are not readable, and changing one character stops the result from showing. That catches links garbled in transit or edited by hand. It does not confirm who ran it, or when. What you wrote goes into an address only when you build a link, and is not sent anywhere.
