Spin the Wheel

Type your options, press Spin, and let the wheel decide. Free, fast, and nothing to sign up for.

Tap or swipe the wheel to spin it.

How to use the wheel spinner

  1. Pick a quick list (food, names, party games or flirty dares), or type or paste your own options into the box, one per line. The wheel updates as you type, with up to 60 options.
  2. Press Spin, or tap or swipe the wheel itself. Swipe clockwise or counter-clockwise to choose the direction. The wheel turns for a few seconds and slows to a stop under the pointer at the top.
  3. The name under the pointer is the winner. Press Remove winner to take it off the wheel and spin again, which is handy for picking several people in order.

Your options are remembered in your browser between visits, so you can come back to the same list. They are never uploaded anywhere.

Is the result really random?

Yes. The winner is chosen before the animation starts, using your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator, the same source used for security-sensitive tasks. Every option has exactly the same chance, no matter how long its text is or how large its slice looks. The animation then rotates the wheel so it stops on the option that was drawn. Nothing about the way you press the button or swipe the wheel, or how fast, can change the outcome: your gesture only starts the spin.

Ideas for using a spinning wheel

Frequently asked questions

Can I spin by swiping the wheel?

Yes. Tap the wheel or drag it with your finger or mouse and let go. The wheel follows your finger and then spins in the direction you swiped. The Spin button at the top does the same thing.

Can I make my own list?

Yes. Type anything into the options box. The quick lists are just starting points that you can edit freely.

How many options can I add?

Up to 60. Long labels are shortened on the wheel itself, but the full text still appears in the winner message.

Can I use duplicate options to change the odds?

Yes. Each line is one slice, so entering the same option twice gives it two slices and double the chance of winning.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The wheel resizes to fit any screen, and it works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Is my list saved or shared?

Your list is saved only in your own browser so it is there when you return. It is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data removes it.

Is it free?

Yes. The tool is free to use, with no account required. The site is supported by advertising.
