What is Word Shuffling?
Word shuffling is the process of randomly rearranging the order of words in a text while keeping the words themselves intact. Unlike letter scrambling, word shuffling maintains each word's spelling but changes their position, creating new and often unexpected combinations.

Shuffle Modes Explained
All Words
Shuffles every word in the entire text regardless of sentence or line boundaries. Creates the most chaotic results.
Within Sentences
Shuffles words within each sentence but keeps words from one sentence separate from another. Maintains some structure while adding randomness.
Within Lines
Shuffles words within each line separately. Useful for lists, poetry, or line-based text where you want to preserve line separation.
Keep First & Last
Keeps the first and last words in their original positions while shuffling all middle words. Creates variations while maintaining opening and closing words.
Common Use Cases
- Word Games: Create scrambled sentences for puzzles or quizzes
- Creative Writing: Generate unexpected word combinations for inspiration
- Language Learning: Practice sentence reconstruction exercises
- Teaching: Create exercises for students to unscramble
- Poetry: Experiment with different word arrangements
- Testing: Generate randomized test data from templates
Punctuation Handling
When "Preserve punctuation position" is enabled, punctuation marks stay attached to their relative positions in the text. For example, if a comma follows a word, a comma will follow a word in the shuffled output too. This helps maintain readability and grammatical structure in the shuffled text.
