Spin the Wheel – Random Picker
Need a quick decision? Add names, meals, activities, or any other choices and spin the wheel to pick one at random. No account needed.
Edit the list to make it yours.
How to use the random wheel spinner
- Add your choices. Choose a quick preset or type or paste names, foods, tasks, or other options into the list. Use one per line or separate them with commas.
- Spin the wheel. Select Spin to randomly choose one of your entries. Each of the wheel's visible slices has the same chance of being selected.
- Spin again or remove a winner. Keep the same choices for another round, or check Remove the winner after each spin to take selected entries out of the next draw.
The wheel supports up to 24 entries at a time. If you enter more, only the first 24 appear on the wheel. It turns slowly while waiting for your next spin; you can also customize its colors and spin duration.
Ideas for your spinning wheel

- Food decision wheel: Add dinner ideas, restaurants, or takeout options when nobody can decide what to eat.
- Game-night spinner: Choose a game, player, challenge, or activity for your group.
- Classroom activities: Pick a student, discussion prompt, or practice question from a prepared list.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the wheel to pick a random name?
Yes. Replace the example food choices with people's names, then spin. Names work just like any other option.
Does the wheel allow repeat winners?
Yes, by default a choice can win again on the next spin. Turn on Remove the winner after each spin if you want each selected entry to be taken out of the list.
Are all choices equally likely to win?
Each entry gets one equally sized slice, and the winner is picked randomly. If you enter the same text multiple times, each copy counts as its own entry and increases the chance of that result.
Can I paste a list instead of typing choices one at a time?
Yes. Paste items separated by line breaks or commas. You can edit your list whenever the wheel is not spinning.
Can I share my custom wheel?
Select Copy share link to copy a link that opens the wheel with your current choices. Select Copy result after a spin to share the winning choice.
Why can't I spin with just one choice?
The spinner needs at least two choices. Add another item before spinning.
