Shuffle text at random. Keep the first and last letter of each word and shuffle the middle, which can still be read, or shuffle all the letters of a word, the order of the words, or every letter of the text. Spaces and punctuation stay where they were.

Remove the effect takes off the marks that Zalgo, glitch and overlapping text add, and real accents with them (é becomes e).
Marks go:

Text like this can be hard or impossible to read with a screen reader, can overflow the line, and some sites remove it. Do not use it for names or passwords.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your text, or keep the example.
  2. Scrambled is already chosen. Choose how to shuffle: the middle of each word, all the letters of a word, the order of the words, or every letter in the text.
  3. Press Re-roll for a different shuffle. The same seed gives the same result, so a result can be repeated.
  4. Press Copy result.

Examples

According to a researcher, middle of each word
→ Adcnircog to a rhreaseecr
First and last letters stay; words of three letters or fewer stay as they are.
alphabet soup, all letters of a word
→ btlpeaah psou
Every letter of each word is moved.
one two three four, order of the words
→ three four one two
The words are the same, in a new order.

How it works

This page is the Text Destroyer with the Scrambled effect chosen. A word is a run of letters and digits, and the shuffle is the Fisher-Yates method, driven by a seeded random generator (seedrandom, MIT). A word is tried again a few times so that a word with two or more different letters does not come out the same. Letters are moved as the characters a reader sees, so a letter with its accent, or a Korean syllable, is never split. The text is split into the characters a reader sees (a letter and the marks on it are one), the effect is applied to the letters and digits only, and spaces, punctuation and emoji are left as they are. The random choices follow a seed: the same seed gives the same result, and Re-roll picks a new one.

Frequently asked questions

Why can scrambled text still be read?
People read words by their shape: the first and last letter and the general makeup, so words with the middle shuffled can often be read, especially short ones. It does not work equally well for every word.
Is it random?
It is pseudo-random from a seed. The same seed and the same text always give the same shuffle, which is why Re-roll makes a new seed.
Does it keep punctuation and capital letters?
Spaces and punctuation stay where they are. The letters are moved as they are, so a capital letter moves with its letter; in the inner shuffle the first letter, which holds the capital, stays in place.
Does it work for Korean?
Yes. Each syllable is a letter that is moved whole. Shuffling the middle of Korean words needs words of four or more syllables.
Can I unscramble it?
No. The original order is not kept in the result.
Is my text uploaded?
No. It is shuffled in your browser.
