Random Group Generator
Split a list of names or items into the number of random groups you choose.
How to use Random Group Generator
1. Enter Items or Names, Number of Groups. 2. Browser pseudorandom choices are for everyday examples and organisation. Results can repeat between runs; this does not provide a certified lottery, secure secret or audited draw. Entries are non-empty trimmed lines. Blank lines are ignored; repeated entries remain separate row slots unless the tool explicitly removes duplicates. Commas inside a line are retained. Group count cannot exceed entered rows; group sizes differ by at most one. Skill balancing and restrictions are excluded. 3. Select Generate or press Enter from a single-line field. In multiline text fields, Enter inserts a line break. 4. Select Copy result to copy the answer, or Reset to clear the form and result.

How the calculation works
Shuffle row slots and distribute across the positive number of groups as evenly as possible. Browser pseudorandom choices are for everyday examples and organisation. Results can repeat between runs; this does not provide a certified lottery, secure secret or audited draw. Entries are non-empty trimmed lines.

Worked example: Items or Names = "Alice"; Number of Groups = 1. Result: Group 1: Alice.
Practical tip
Check the random group input and output convention before reusing the result.
