What is Wheel Spinner?

Wheel Spinner is a free online wheel spinner and random picker. Add a list, spin the wheel, and get one result chosen in a way anyone watching can verify. It's built for people lists, prize drawings, food decisions, classroom turns, and any moment where you'd otherwise flip a coin.

A list goes into a visible wheel, the wheel spins, and one entry is selected. Nothing is sent to a server to make the pick — the draw happens entirely in your browser.

How to use this wheel spinner

Paste or type entries into the editor — each line becomes one slice on the wheel. Click Spin, wait for the wheel to stop, and use the highlighted name as the result. The Space key also starts a spin when you're not typing in a field, which is useful when the wheel is projected in a classroom or shown on a stream.

For a small group, List mode is fastest: add, rename, or delete entries directly. For a roster or signup sheet, use Text mode — one name per line — or import a CSV file directly.

Best uses for a wheel spinner

Use Wheel Spinner for student selection, raffle draws, giveaway winners, meeting turns, team order, party games, and quick decisions like what to eat. Teachers usually need equal odds and a clean participant list. For two-part choices — like picking a person and a task — add a second wheel and run them back to back.

Fairness and no-repeat picking

Each spin uses secure randomness in the browser throughcrypto.getRandomValues(). The winner is chosen from the current slices first, and the wheel animation is generated to land on that result — so the outcome is never influenced by how the wheel looks while spinning.

For no-repeat selection, enable Elimination mode before spinning. The winning name is removed automatically, which is ideal for choosing several unique winners or giving everyone a turn. The Results tab keeps a running history for the session.

Wheel Spinner does not require an account for basic use. You can spin, edit, import CSV lists, and keep local drafts in your browser — your list is saved automatically to this device's local storage.

Practical limits and setup tips

The wheel stays smooth for class rosters, event check-ins, and small raffles. Very large lists should be cleaned up in a spreadsheet first: remove empty rows, normalize names, and keep one row per participant.

Use the … menu to shuffle slice order or remove duplicate entries before a draw — a clean list before spinning is the best trust signal if a group needs to verify the setup.
