Frequently Asked Questions
When you tap Spin, the wheel is given a random push and decelerates physically until it stops. The winner is then read from whichever slice sits under the pointer — nothing is pre-chosen. Because every entry gets an identical slice size, each one has exactly the same chance of landing under the arrow, no matter its position, color, or text length. The result is genuinely fair and easy to verify: spin many times and the winners spread out evenly.
Type or paste your list of entries into the text input, one per line or separated by commas. The wheel automatically updates as you add or remove items, redistributing the colored slices evenly across the 360-degree circle. You can include names, numbers, restaurant choices, task assignments, prize categories, or any text — emojis are fully supported. There is no hard limit on entries, but readability drops once slices become too thin to read (typically above 30-40 entries). For very long lists, consider grouping items into categories first, spinning to pick a category, then spinning again within that category.
Absolutely — random wheels are a favorite tool for teachers picking students to answer, managers assigning standup leaders, party hosts choosing the next round of charades, and project teams selecting features to prioritize. The visible randomness reduces accusations of favoritism: when the wheel picks, no one can claim you targeted them unfairly. Teachers often add a remove-after-pick option to ensure every student gets a turn before anyone is picked twice. For sensitive decisions like layoffs or promotions, never use a random wheel — these require deliberate criteria, not chance, regardless of how perceived-fair the process appears.
To weight an entry, add it more than once: list Pizza twice and Sushi once and Pizza becomes twice as likely, since it now fills two equal slices. To stop repeats, turn on the 'Remove winner after spin' toggle in Settings — each winner is pulled off the wheel automatically, so everyone gets picked before anyone repeats (great for classroom turns or draft order). Use Shuffle to randomize the slice order before a fresh round.
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no login, and no limits. Spin as many times as you like, add unlimited entries, and use every feature — sound, confetti, fireworks, history, and remove-after-pick — without paying or registering. There are no premium tiers and no watermarks. Just open the page, add your names or options, and start spinning right away.
This is confirmation bias — your brain remembers the satisfying wins and forgets the disappointing losses. The wheel itself has no way of knowing your preferences and treats every entry identically. Researchers in cognitive psychology call this the frequency illusion, related to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon: outcomes that match your hopes feel more significant and stick in memory. If you ever feel the wheel is rigged in your favor (or against you), try spinning 100 times and tallying the results — you will see uniform distribution within normal random variance. The wheel is also incapable of detecting which entry you wrote first, longest, or in capital letters; only your perception assigns those entries extra weight in your memory.
Yes. After the page loads once, the wheel runs entirely in your browser with no server calls — every spin, animation, and effect is computed locally in JavaScript. Once it is open, you can lose your connection and keep spinning normally. This also means there is no lag waiting on a server: results appear the instant the wheel stops, and your entries are always ready even on a flaky mobile network.
Yes. Your entries, settings, statistics, and spin history are stored only in your browser's local storage and are never uploaded to any server. We cannot see your lists or who won. The trade-off is that the data lives on that one device and browser: clear your browser data and it is gone. To move a list elsewhere, copy your entries first and paste them in via bulk import.
