How do I make a free picker wheel online?+
Type your options one at a time, or paste a whole list in the Bulk tab (one per line), then click Spin. The wheel randomizes and lands on a winner. You can add unlimited entries, recolour each slice, rename them inline, and load a template to start faster.
Is the picker wheel truly random?+
Yes. Each spin uses the browser's random number generator and a randomized spin force, so every unweighted option has an equal, independent chance. Weights only change the odds if you deliberately set them, otherwise no option has any advantage.
Can I use this as a random name picker for a classroom?+
Absolutely. Bulk-paste your class roster to build the wheel instantly, then spin to call on a student at random. Turn on elimination mode to remove each name after it's picked so everyone gets a turn before anyone repeats.
What is elimination (fairness) mode?+
Elimination mode automatically removes the winning entry from the wheel after each spin. This guarantees every option is selected exactly once before any repeats, ideal for name draws, team assignments, and giveaways where fairness matters.
Can I import a large list of names at once?+
Yes. Open the Bulk tab and paste a list with one item per line. The wheel rebuilds itself with colour-coded slices and can handle hundreds of entries instantly.
Can I apply weighted probabilities to the picker wheel?+
Yes. Drag the weight slider on any entry to change its odds, for example, making 'Option A' come up twice as often as 'Option B'. The live percentage shows each option's exact chance, which is useful for raffles where some participants hold more tickets, or games with unequal odds.
Does the wheel save my options?+
Yes. Your options, their colours, weights, and your sound and elimination settings are saved in your browser's local storage, so the wheel is exactly as you left it next time you visit. Nothing is uploaded, everything stays on your device.
Can I spin the wheel on my phone?+
Yes. The wheel is fully touch-friendly, tap the centre Spin hub, or flick the wheel to spin it with a swipe. On desktop you can also press the Spacebar to spin hands-free.
How do I use the wheel to pick a random name or winner?+
Enter your list of names or choices, spin the wheel, and it lands on one at random, ideal for classroom questions, giveaways or team assignments.
Is the wheel spin actually random and fair?+
Yes. The result uses the browser's secure random generator, so every entry has an equal chance each spin.
Can I use it for yes/no or 'what should I eat' decisions?+
Yes. Put any options on the wheel (yes/no, restaurants, tasks) and let it decide, and you can remove a winner after each spin for draws without repeats.
What is Fairness Mode?+
It automatically removes each winner after they're picked, so over several spins everyone gets selected without repeats.
