How to use the Spin the Wheel
- Type or paste your options in the box, one per line. The wheel updates instantly.
- Click Spin!, click the wheel itself, or press Ctrl+Enter.
- When it stops, the winner pops up. Choose Remove from wheel to take them out for the next spin.
- Use Full screen to show it on a projector, and Copy share link to send the same wheel to someone else.
Is the wheel really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator (the same one used for passwords) before the wheel starts moving. The spin animation is then steered to land on that result, so every entry has exactly the same chance, no matter how fast or where you click.
Ideas for using the wheel
- Classrooms: pick a student to answer, choose a topic, or decide the order of presentations.
- Giveaways: paste the names of everyone who entered and spin live on stream or in a video call.
- Everyday decisions: what to eat, which movie to watch, who does the dishes.
- Games: truth or dare, party challenges, or random prizes.
Giving an option a bigger chance
Every line is one slice of equal size. To make an option more likely, add it more than once. An entry listed twice is twice as likely to win.
