Random Generator FAQ

What powers the draws on this site, why they're fair, and what each generator does.

How the Randomness Works

How random are the results?

The tools use your browser's built-in Math.random(). It produces high-quality pseudo-random numbers, more than random enough for games, picks, raffles and prompts. It is not cryptographically secure, so don't use these tools to generate passwords, keys or anything security related.

Are picks fair?

Yes. Every item, number, word or letter in the pool has an equal chance on each draw. Unique draws (numbers without duplicates, word batches, list picks) use an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle, the standard algorithm for fair random ordering.

Is it free?

Yes, completely. There are no accounts, no limits, no locked features and no paid tier. Everything runs on your own device, so serving another draw costs nothing.

Can I run a raffle or giveaway with it?

Yes. Paste your entrants into the list picker, one per line, and turn on remove picked from list so nobody wins twice. Duplicate lines act as extra tickets, which lets you weight entries on purpose.

Which generators are there?

Five: a random word generator with 2,087 common English words, a random number generator with dice, a random letter generator, a list picker for raffles and shuffles, and a coin flip with a running tally.
