Random Group Generator Online

Paste your names, choose how many groups, and keep certain people apart.

How it works

  1. Replace the example with your names, one per line.
  2. Choose how many groups you need.
  3. To keep two people apart, write their names on one line, separated by a comma. Add more pairs on new lines, then tap Make groups.

Questions

Are the groups even?

Group sizes differ by at most one. 23 names in 4 groups gives three groups of 6 and one of 5.

Can I keep three people apart?

Use at least 3 groups and enter all three pairs on separate lines: Amy, Ben; Amy, Cara; and Ben, Cara. All three will be in different groups if a balanced grouping is possible.

Is my list saved or uploaded?

No. Groups are made in your browser. Your list is never uploaded or saved, and refreshing resets it.
