Random Wheel Spinner — Pick Names, Winners, or Yes or No
Can't decide, or need to pick someone fairly? Type your options, spin the wheel, and let chance choose. UtilHub's free wheel spinner handles a class list, a giveaway with hundreds of entries, or a quick yes-or-no call, and every winner is picked with your browser's cryptographic random generator before the animation starts, so no spin can be nudged. Give entries different weights, remove each winner automatically so nobody is picked twice, and switch to fullscreen for a classroom screen or a live stream. Wheels are saved on your device, and you can share one as a link without creating an account. Install it on your phone and it works offline, wherever you need a quick decision.
How to use Spin the Wheel
- Type or paste your entries, one per line.
- Optionally add a weight such as *2 after an entry, or turn on "Remove winner after spin".
- Tap Spin, or press Space, and wait for the wheel to stop.
- Read the result — it is announced and added to the history.
- Save the wheel, share it as a link, or spin again.
Features
- Fair, verifiable randomness — Each winner is chosen with crypto.getRandomValues before the wheel moves, so the animation can't favor anyone.
- Weights and no-repeat mode — Give entries bigger or smaller chances, or remove each winner automatically for classroom picks and giveaways.
- Made for big screens and phones — Fullscreen presentation mode, keyboard spin, large touch targets, and an installable app that works offline.
- Saved on your device — Keep several wheels in this browser and share any of them as a link, with no account and nothing stored on a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wheel spinner truly random?
Yes. The winning entry is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator before the spin begins, and the animation then lands on it. Each entry's chance is proportional to its slice, so with equal weights every option has exactly the same probability on every spin, no matter how many times you spin in a row.
How do I pick a random name without repeats?
Paste your list of names, one per line, and turn on "Remove winner after spin". Each time the wheel stops, the chosen name is taken off the wheel and added to the results list, so nobody can be picked twice. When everyone has had a turn, restore the full list with one click and start again.
Can I change the odds for some entries?
Yes. Give any entry a weight — 2 for double the chance, 0.5 for half — and its slice grows or shrinks to match, with the percentage shown next to it. Everyone watching can see the odds, which makes weighted wheels useful for prize draws with different quantities of each prize or for chores you want to come up more often.
How do I use the wheel in a classroom or on a live stream?
Switch to fullscreen so the wheel fills a projector, smartboard, or streaming scene, and press Space to spin. Turn on "Remove winner after spin" to call on every student once, and use the results list to see who has already gone. Sound and confetti can be switched off for quieter rooms.
Does the wheel work offline on my phone?
Yes, once it is installed. Open the wheel in Chrome and tap "Install app", or in Safari tap Share and then "Add to Home Screen". It then opens like a regular app, keeps your saved wheels, and spins without an internet connection — handy in classrooms, at events, or anywhere with a weak signal.
