Fair and private

flipj uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source browsers use for encryption keys. We also avoid "modulo bias", a subtle flaw where some results come up slightly more often than others. Every result is generated on your device, so nothing you enter is sent to us.

Ideas for 1 to 100

  • Guess the number: one person generates, everyone else guesses with "higher" or "lower" hints. It never takes more than 7 guesses with the right strategy.
  • Raffles with up to 100 tickets.
  • Percentile rolls in tabletop games (a d100).

Is 1 to 100 the same as rolling a d100?

Yes. A d100 roll is a random whole number from 1 to 100.
