How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste your text: Copy your text into the input textarea. Make sure that paragraphs are separated by blank lines (this is how the tool identifies separate paragraphs).
  2. Select options: Customize it to suit your needs:
    • Paragraph by groups: Select "use" and specify a group size (i.e., 2 = combine 2 paragraphs into one block) to shuffle by groups.
    • Spaces: Tick "removes all spaces in every single line" to eliminate all spaces in every line of text.
    • Duplicates: Check "leave unique paragraphs" to automatically remove duplicate paragraphs.
  3. Start shuffling: Press the Shuffle Paragraphs button. The tool will reorder paragraphs, but will retain line breaks within paragraphs.
  4. Save/use result: Copy scrambled text using the "Copy Result" button on the right panel or download it as a .txt file.
