FAQ

Is the result fair?

When a ladder is made, your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) first shuffles who goes to which outcome, and then the rungs are drawn to produce that result. Every player has the same chance of reaching each outcome. Ladders made only from random rungs favor the outcome straight below each player; this method has no such bias.

What if there are fewer outcomes than players?

Missing outcomes are filled with “Blank”. If there are more outcomes than players, only the first ones are used.

Does editing names change the ladder?

A new ladder is made when the number of players changes. If the number stays the same, only the labels change and the ladder keeps its shape.

Will a shared link show the same result?

Yes. The link includes the ladder’s rungs, so everyone who opens it sees the same paths and results. Names and outcomes are not stored on a server; they live only inside the link.
