FAQ About Random Group
Is the shuffle truly random?
Yes. We use Fisher-Yates shuffle with Crypto.getRandomValues() for cryptographic-quality randomness.
Can I reproduce the same grouping?
Yes. Set a seed value. The same seed always produces the same grouping.
What if the list doesn't divide evenly?
Some groups will have 1 more item than others. The tool distributes the remainder as evenly as possible.
