The list randomizer works like this: it shuffles list items with the Fisher-Yates algorithm using cryptographic randomness, or draws a random subset. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

Frequently asked questions
Is the shuffle fair?
Fisher-Yates with crypto-random integers gives every permutation equal probability - the gold standard.
Is the shuffle truly unbiased?
Yes - it uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm with cryptographic randomness, the standard combination that gives every possible ordering exactly equal probability.
How does random subset drawing work?
The same shuffle then takes the first N entries, so a "pick 3 winners from 200" draw is as fair as a full reordering.
