Free Random Wheel Spinner
Paste one Entry per line and spin to choose one eligible result. No account or upload is required, and the browser commits the random Winner before revealing it.
The wheel is useful for turn-taking, classroom jobs, quick questions, and choosing a next activity. Keep the entries visible, explain whether repeats are allowed, and let the browser commit the selection before the winner appears. You can adjust the list locally whenever attendance or the lesson changes.

How to use the random Wheel spinner
Add the real choices, check which Entries are eligible, set the repeat rule, and spin. The Wheel finishes one small selection job. It does not decide whether the list is complete, safe, or appropriate for the people affected by the result.
- Replace the example Entries with one name or option per line.
- Disable anyone or anything that should sit out the current Session.
- Leave repeat Winners off for one pass through the list, or turn it on when every Selection should start with the full eligible pool.
- Check the visible field, then select Spin the Wheel.
- Use Undo for the latest genuine correction. Reset clears the Session and restores the current starting configuration.
For classroom rosters and presentation order, start with a reviewed classroom Template. For meals, activities, and other everyday options, filter out any unacceptable outcome before it becomes an Entry.
If every eligible Entry needs one copyable numbered position, use theOrder Tool instead of recording many separate spins.

What does a random Wheel result mean?
Each enabled Entry receives one equal chance under the current rule. Disabled Entries and Winners already excluded by a no-repeat Session cannot be selected. Two rows with the same label remain two separate Entries, so accidental duplicates change the odds.
Randomly asks browser Web Crypto for the random value and commits the selected Entry before the Wheel moves. The animation helps people follow the reveal; it does not calculate or revise the result. The randomness method explains the source, rejection sampling, and the limits of what the Tool can prove.
When should repeat Winners stay off?
Keep repeats off when a group is taking turns or when you want a short list without duplicates. The selected Winner is excluded until Undo or Reset. Allow repeats for independent prompt choices where seeing the same Entry again would still be acceptable. The guide to Selection with and without replacement compares the two rules in detail.
Save and share a Wheel without sending Entries to Randomly
A local Setup is stored on the current browser and device. Give it a plain name that helps you recognize the list later. Avoid student records, contact details, account information, health notes, or any other sensitive text in both the Setup name and its Entries.
A Shared Setup places the configuration after the # in the URL. Browsers do not include that fragment in the page request, but the complete link still contains the readable Setup. Share it only with people who should receive the list. Open the Wheel before presenting a screen so private editing controls and labels have already been checked.
Presentation Mode removes editing and advertising surfaces from the shared view. Read the privacy explanation for the boundary between ordinary page requests, local Entries, Shared Setups, and aggregate product events.
What can you put on a random Wheel?
Use short, distinct labels that everyone can understand before the spin. A Wheel can choose a person, prompt, activity, order, or one acceptable option from a reviewed list. The job is always the same: define the eligible choices first, then let one visible random result move the group forward.
- Classrooms: choose a turn, question, vocabulary prompt, or short brain break.
- Teams: rotate a facilitator, select a check-in prompt, or choose the next discussion topic.
- Parties and gatherings: pick a game, activity, challenge, or speaking order from agreed options.
- Everyday decisions: choose among acceptable meals, films, chores, or destinations without another round of debate.
Randomness cannot make an unsuitable list fair. Remove unsafe, unavailable, or unwanted options before spinning, and use a documented process instead when a decision affects rights, safety, money, health, discipline, or consent.
Random Wheel spinner questions
Is the Randomly Wheel free to use without signing up?
Yes. The Wheel is free to use and does not require an account. Paste or edit the Entries in the browser, choose the repeat rule, and spin. Local Setups stay on the current device unless you deliberately create a sharing URL.
Does Randomly upload the names or options I enter?
Ordinary Wheel Entries stay in the browser. A Shared Setup encodes its configuration after the # in the URL, which browsers do not send with the page request. Anyone with the complete sharing URL can still read those Entries, so do not include sensitive information.
Can the same Winner appear more than once?
Yes when repeat Winners are allowed. With repeats turned off, each selected Entry is excluded for the rest of the current Session unless you Undo or Reset. Duplicate rows are separate Entries and each row receives its own chance.
Does the spinning animation choose the Winner?
No. Randomly uses browser Web Crypto to select and commit one eligible Entry before the reveal starts. The spinning animation displays that stored result. Changing motion preferences or reveal timing does not run another Selection.
Use random selection for low-stakes choices after the eligible list has been reviewed. Employment, medical, legal, financial, safety, safeguarding, discipline, and consent decisions require the documented process and responsible judgment appropriate to that situation. The fair group-selection guide covers list checks, correction rules, and transparent facilitation.
