FAQ
Are the groups balanced in size?
Yes, names are distributed round-robin across groups, so group sizes differ by at most one person.
Is my list of names uploaded anywhere?
No. The grouping happens entirely in your browser — your list is never sent to a server.
Can I generate new groups from the same list?
Yes, click Generate Groups again to reshuffle the same names into a fresh set of random groups.
