No Randomizer Selected
Your one-stop solution for all things random. Make decisions, have fun, and find inspiration!
In a world full of choices, sometimes the best decision is no decision at all. Let fate take the wheel! Our randomizer is designed to inject a little spontaneity and fun into your daily life. Whether you're a writer looking for a creative spark, a game master needing a quick roll, or just someone trying to decide what to have for dinner, we've got a tool for you.
Every roll of a die, shuffle of a deck, or coin flip is tied to probability. When you flip a fair coin, the chance of landing on heads is exactly 50%—but that doesn’t guarantee a neat alternation of heads and tails. Randomness creates streaks, surprises, and sometimes patterns that appear meaningful, but are really just coincidence.
For example, in 1913 at a casino in Monte Carlo, the roulette wheel landed on black 26 times in a row. Players lost fortunes betting against the streak, convinced red was “due.” This event became famous as the Gambler’s Fallacy: the mistaken belief that past results change future odds in a fair system.
In reality, probability is memoryless. Each coin flip, die roll, or random pick starts fresh. That’s why streaks—while rare—are not impossible. The longer you play, the more likely you are to see them.
Our randomizers are built to simulate these probabilities as fairly as possible. Unlike weighted “pseudo-choices” (where some outcomes are secretly favored), true randomness gives every option an equal chance. That’s what makes it exciting—it can’t be predicted, only experienced.
Randomness has fascinated humans for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations rolled carved bones, sticks, or stones as early dice. These weren’t just toys—they were used for divination, a way of asking fate or the gods for guidance. The word “dice” even comes from the Latin datum, meaning “something given.”
By the Middle Ages, dice games and playing cards spread across Europe, blending entertainment with gambling. Kings and commoners alike used chance for both fun and fortune. Card decks even became a form of hidden storytelling, with suits symbolizing different parts of life: swords, cups, coins, and wands.
In the 20th century, scientists started studying randomness not just for games, but for serious applications. Computers introduced a new challenge: they’re deterministic by nature, so how do you make them generate something unpredictable? The answer was pseudo-random algorithms, and later, physical randomness sources like radioactive decay or atmospheric noise.
Today, randomness powers far more than casinos. It secures your passwords, keeps online transactions safe, and helps simulate everything from weather patterns to medical trials. Yet despite all the math, randomness still carries a sense of mystery—whether it’s a lottery ticket, a shuffled playlist, or the next roll of the dice.
Select a randomizer type from the buttons (Dice, Cards, Names, etc.), then click the "Randomize!" button to generate a random result. For some randomizers like Custom, you'll need to add your own items first.
Yes! The Custom randomizer lets you add your own list of items. Other randomizers like Number let you set a min and max range. Cards and Dice have fixed rules, but you can click repeatedly for new results.
This randomizer uses JavaScript's built-in random number generator for casual entertainment. It's suitable for games and fun decisions, but not for cryptographic or security-critical applications.
Randomize Anything works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). It's mobile-friendly and works on phones and tablets as well.
No. The randomizer does not store your choices or data. Everything happens in your browser. Your custom lists are only stored locally on your device.
No. This tool is intended for entertainment and decision-making only. It is not designed or certified for gambling purposes.
The History tab explains how randomness has been used throughout history—from ancient dice games to modern computing.
You can manually copy and share any result, but there's no built-in share feature. Results are generated fresh each time you click.
Click on the "Custom" button, then paste or type your items in the text area. Put each item on a new line. You can add as many items as you want.
Dice is limited to 1-6 and shows a visual dice cube. Number allows you to set any range (e.g., 1-100, 1-1000) and displays the number as text.
The Bottle randomizer simulates spinning a bottle. It's perfect for party games and group decision-making.
Not directly, but you can click repeatedly or hold the button to generate results in quick succession. Each result is independent.
Yes, each outcome has an equal chance unless you're using features like the Lotto randomizer, which generates combinations mathematically.
Absolutely! The randomizer is fully optimized for touch devices. You can tap the button on your phone or tablet just like on a desktop.
The Probabilities tab explains how random outcomes work, including concepts like the Gambler's Fallacy and why streaks are normal in randomness.
Simply click a different randomizer button to switch to a new one. There's no manual reset needed—each randomizer starts fresh.
