Spin the wheel to pick a random name or choice

More wheels for specific jobs

Three ready-made wheels cover the most common uses: a yes or no wheel for quick decisions, a number wheel for ranges, and a classroom caller for student names.

• Yes or no wheel

  Two fixed halves, nothing to set up. Spin once for a 50/50 answer.

• Random number wheel

  Pick a range like 1-10 or 1-100 and spin for one number.

• Classroom caller

  Paste your class list, spin, and remove each student who has been called.

How does the spin wheel work?

The wheel draws one random number with crypto.getRandomValues, maps it to a segment of equal size, then animates to that segment. Three steps: add entries, spin, take the result.

1. Add your entries

   Type one name per line or paste a whole list. Shuffle, sort, disable or colour any entry from the editor.

2. Spin the wheel

   Tap the wheel, press the spin button or hit space. It spins for about five seconds and slows on its own.

3. Take the result

   A popup shows the winner. Keep it, remove it for the next spin, or copy it; every result is kept in the results tab.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Each spin takes a number from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic generator, and uses rejection sampling so no segment gets an extra chance. The winner is chosen first and the animation only shows it.

A few questions come up with every wheel, so here are the short answers.
