Randomize letters

Hi,

Is there a tool somewhat parallel to rev, but which randomizes instead of reverses?

I've tried rl, but I can only get it to randomize words.

I was hoping for something like this
Code:
echo "hello" | ran 
leolh

less simpler solutions are also welcome.
Sorry if the question is trivial or answered before, but I cant seem to find a solution..
