Spin the wheel to pick a random name or choice

Which wheels are built for specific jobs?

There are four ready-made tools for the most common uses: a yes or no wheel for quick decisions, a number wheel for ranges, a classroom caller for student names and a team generator for groups.

• 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.

• Team generator

  Paste a list, pick how many teams and split it in one click.

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.

Why use this wheel spinner?

Because it is free, needs no sign-up, and keeps your list in your browser. Saving, sharing and the public gallery are there when you want them.

• Free with no spin limit

  Every feature on this page is free. Ads keep the tool open, never behind a paywall.

• No sign-up to spin

  The editor works the moment the page loads. An account is only needed to save a wheel.

• Up to 1,000 entries

  Paste a full class list or a long raffle list; the wheel redraws itself to fit.

• Works on any device

  Phones, tablets and desktops all run the same wheel, with fullscreen for projectors.

• Save and share

  Sign in to save wheels, share a link, or publish a wheel to the gallery.

• Weighted entries

  Turn on weights when one entry should win more often, and the wheel shows it.

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.
