Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the shuffling truly random?

Yes. We use the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm combined with a cryptographically strong random number generator to ensure the order is completely unpredictable.

Does “No Dupes” case sensitivity matter?

The “No Dupes” function typically treats “Apple” and “apple” as unique entries. It looks for exact text matches to preserve your original formatting.

How many items can I shuffle?
