Category: Random & Generation
When to use?
Use it at a gathering to fairly assign penalties, presentation order, or roles.
How to use

- Enter result items or roles, one per line.
- Press make ladder to see the assignment.
Input Explanation
Enter participants (start) and results (end) separated by commas or line breaks.
Calculation Basis
It generates vertical lines for the participant count and places horizontal rungs randomly so starts and ends match 1:1 at random.
Usage Examples
- Assign penalties - Enter participants and penalties to decide who gets which.
- Split roles - Randomly assign roles like note-taking, presenting, recording.
- Run meetings/classes - Quickly decide presentation order, picks, and simple draws to save time.
Examples
- Participants A, B, C / results Win, Lose, Lose → randomly assign each result
- Connect 5 people with 5 menu items at a dinner
Cautions
- It is based on mathematical randomness, differing from the physical odds of a real lottery or offline game.
- It is not suitable for commercial draws with money at stake or high-security randomness.
Guides
How assignment works
It reads participants and result items per line, shuffles the results, and assigns one to each participant.
When list counts differ
If participant and result counts differ, only the smaller count of results is made. Match both lists so everyone gets a result.
FAQ
Can participant and result counts differ?
Yes, it makes results to match the smaller count.
Does the result change each time?
Each press makes a new random assignment.
Can I set custom result items?
Beyond win/lose, enter any result items freely to assign.
Can I preview the result?
The ladder lines are set randomly at start; view all paths at once or follow one by one.
