What the guides are for
The guides are written for visitors who need more than a button. They explain which tool fits a task, how to prepare clean input, how to avoid common mistakes, and when a random result should be reviewed before use.
This matters because randomization is useful in many settings, but the right workflow changes by context. A teacher splitting groups needs different guidance than someone running a Secret Santa draw or choosing a random writing prompt.
How pages are maintained
RandThings guide pages are reviewed for clarity, practical examples, internal links, and tool limitations. The goal is to help visitors complete real tasks, not to publish thin pages around keywords.
New guides are added when they support an existing tool cluster, such as decision tools, classroom tools, creative prompts, team splitting, or seasonal event planning.
