One name per line.
Use this spin the wheel tool, a free wheel of names, to make a choice from your own list of names, options, or prizes. Add your entries, adjust the wheel to suit your activity, and spin when you are ready. This spin wheel is designed to be useful for classroom turns, everyday decisions, games, and giveaway workflows. Call it a wheel spinner, a random wheel, a random name picker, or a name generator. The idea is the same: your list goes on the wheel, and one spin makes the choice.
Enter one option per line, or paste a prepared list into the editor. Give entries clear names so the result is easy to understand when the wheel stops. Before spinning, check that the list includes every eligible option and does not contain accidental duplicates. For a class list or giveaway, decide in advance whether repeated entries are allowed.
Use the palette controls to change the wheel's appearance, then load a suitable template when you want a quick starting point. A classroom wheel might contain student names or classroom jobs; a party wheel might contain activities; a decision wheel can hold the options you are genuinely willing to choose. Review every preloaded entry before using a template for a real draw.
Type or paste the options that should be included.
Choose a colour palette or load a relevant template, then check the entries.
Use the displayed outcome according to the rules you set before the draw.
Use an elimination workflow when a selected name or option should not be eligible for the next draw. Confirm that removal is enabled and review the remaining list after each selection.
A weighted wheel is appropriate only when you intentionally want options to have different chances. Make the weighting rules clear before spinning; unequal chances should never be presented as an equal-probability draw.
For a draw with several winners, define the number of winners and whether a previous winner may be selected again before starting. Keep a record of the rules and results if the outcome matters to other people.
Repeated spins can support games, classroom activities, or a series of choices. Explain whether outcomes are independent or whether previous results change the eligible entries.
Use automated or rotation-style modes only when they match the activity's rules. Do not describe a rotation as fair merely because it is automated; explain what is being rotated and what counts as a valid result.
Every spin is drawn fresh the moment you press Spin, and every entry has an equal chance unless you set weights. You do not have to take that on trust. The built-in fairness checker runs 1,000 or 10,000 simulated spins on your current wheel (weights included) and shows the results against the expected distribution. For an important draw, publish eligibility rules before the draw, use the same rules for everyone, and keep a record of the final result. A wheel makes a draw transparent; it does not by itself make a promotion legally compliant.
choose a student to answer, select a classroom job, or pick a review topic. See the teacher guide.
choose from an eligible entry list after explaining the rules. See the prize wheel.
choose between low-stakes options such as a meal or a weekend activity.
select a challenge, game, or audience prompt that participants have agreed to.
Yes. Every entry has an equal chance on every spin, and one spin never affects the next. You can test it yourself: the fairness checker simulates 1,000 or 10,000 spins on your wheel and compares the outcome with the expected distribution. For a consequential draw, publish the rules in advance and keep a record of the entries and result.
Use the built-in elimination mode: after each draw, the winner is removed from the eligible list automatically. Decide this rule before the draw, not after seeing who wins.
Up to 1,000 entries. Long lists can be pasted or imported from a CSV or text file, and the wheel stays responsive. Beyond 100 slices, it aggregates labels gracefully instead of freezing.
Yes. Your wheels save automatically in this browser, in a named library you can reopen, duplicate, export, or import as a file. A share link carries the full wheel, entries, colours, weights, and settings, inside the link itself, in the part after the # symbol, which browsers never send to a server: your entries stay on your device. After a spin you can also copy a result-record link showing the entries, the winner, and the time. Anyone who opens a share link can see the entries in it, so do not put information in a wheel that you would not share.
A wheel can help select an entry, but it does not make a promotion compliant with local law or platform rules. Publish eligibility, entry deadlines, selection rules, and prize details, and check the rules that apply to your location and platform.
The page should be tested on the devices you plan to use. For a classroom or live event, open it before the session, check that the wheel and controls are visible, and prepare a backup list in case the connection or display fails.
Add your names, spin, and get a fair random pick, right in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
