Options
Spin a Wheel for Your Next Decision
Sometimes a list of options is too much to choose from. A wheel spinner takes the pressure off by picking for you. Add your choices, give it a spin, and let the result land where it lands.
This tool is built for quick decisions. Dinner plans, game night picks, who goes first, what to watch. Anything with more than two options fits a wheel better than a coin flip.
How It Works
- Step 1: Add your options in the panel. You can type them one by one, paste a list, or use a preset.
- Step 2: Click Spin or drag the wheel to spin it yourself.
- Step 3: The result appears under the wheel. Recent spins are saved below.
You can also drag the wheel with your mouse or finger. Drag fast and let go, and the wheel will keep spinning with momentum before landing on a result.
Ways People Use Wheel Spinners
Food decisions
Pizza, sushi, tacos, or burgers. Put them all on the wheel and let it pick dinner.
Game night
Decide which game to play or who starts first without arguing.
Classrooms
Teachers use wheels to randomly call on students or pick review topics.
Giveaways
Pick a winner from a list of names without bias.
Is Each Spin Fair?
Yes. Every option gets an equal slice of the wheel, and the spin result is determined by where the wheel stops relative to the pointer. The button spin uses an eased animation with a random total rotation, so no outcome is favored.
If you spin by dragging, the result depends on your drag speed and release point. That is still random in practice, because tiny differences in how you let go can change the result completely.
Example: A wheel with 6 options and a full 360 degree spin gives each option a 1 in 6 chance of winning. Adding or removing options changes the odds for every slice automatically.
Recent Spins and History
Every result is saved in the Recent Spins section under the wheel. Click any recent result to see options for removing it from the history or removing that option from the wheel entirely.
This is useful when you want to do multiple rounds without repeats. Spin once, remove the winner from the wheel, and spin again. Great for tournaments, draft orders, or assigning tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many options can I add?
There is no hard limit, but the wheel becomes hard to read past about 20 options. Text gets shorter or truncated to fit each slice.
Can I edit options after spinning?
Yes. Change the text in any input field and the wheel updates immediately. Your recent spins stay in history.
Does the wheel work on mobile?
Yes. Touch and drag works on phones and tablets. The wheel scales down automatically to fit smaller screens.
Is the result truly random?
The button spin uses random rotation with easing, so every option has an equal chance. Dragging is less controlled but still unpredictable in practice.
Can I save my wheel for later?
Options are not saved between visits. If you have a list you use often, keep it in a text file and paste it in using the Text mode. Use DebitEarn’s Notepad tool to save your notes in your browser!
What presets are available?
Yes and No, dice numbers, basic colors, and meal ideas. You can also create your own by typing in the list.
