Random Wheel

A random wheel spins through your options and lands on one at random, like picking Tacos from Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, and Burgers. Type one option per line, spin the wheel, and the pointer settles on a single winner chosen with equal odds for every entry.

What this tells you

  • Each entry on the wheel gets an equal slice, so the tool assumes every option has the same chance of winning.
  • The pick is made in your browser with a random draw, and spinning again gives a fresh result.
  • Blank lines are ignored, so a stray empty line never counts as an option.

How to Use

  1. 1Type your options into the box, one per line.
  2. 2Add at least two options so the wheel has something to choose between.
  3. 3Click Spin to set the wheel turning.
  4. 4Read the winner once the wheel stops on a slice.
  5. 5Spin again any time you want a new pick.
