  8. In the action settings, choose the "Affect different element(s)" option.
  9. Select the div block element (parent element of the text element) as the element to affect.
  10. Choose the "Text" property to animate.
  11. Now, click on the "+ Add to List" button under the animation section to add a new animation.
  12. In the animation settings, choose the "Shuffle" option under the "Advanced" tab.
  13. Adjust the duration, delay, and easing of the shuffle animation according to your preferences.
  14. Customize other properties like font size, color, and background as desired, either directly on the text element or the div block element.
