Free Text Randomizer
NToolHub’s Text Randomizer scrambles text at the level you choose — words, lines, characters, or paragraphs. Writers use it for creative prompts and cut-up poetry, teachers create word scrambles for students, and developers generate obfuscated test strings. Paste your text, pick a mode, and get an instant remix.
How to Use the Text Randomizer
- Paste your text into the box.
- Choose what to shuffle: words, lines, characters, or paragraphs.
- Click “Randomize Text” for instant results.
- Copy or download the randomized text.
Features
Four shuffle modes — words (preserving whitespace), lines, characters, and paragraphs — all using unbiased shuffling, with instant results and copy/download export.
Benefits & Use Cases
Randomized text sparks creativity through unexpected juxtapositions and makes excellent puzzle material for classrooms. Character shuffling is also handy for creating placeholder or redacted-looking text.
Tips
Word mode keeps your spacing intact for readable scrambles. Character mode destroys readability entirely — ideal for dummy data. Run it twice for extra chaos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unscramble the text?
No, shuffling is one-way. Keep your original text if you need it.
Does word shuffling keep punctuation with words?
Punctuation stays attached to its word, and whitespace is preserved, so the scramble remains readable.
What is paragraph mode for?
It shuffles whole paragraphs separated by blank lines, useful for randomizing the order of sections or verses.
Is there a size limit?
No practical limit. Even long documents shuffle instantly in your browser.
