How to use the wheel

Type or paste your list into the entries box, one per line. The wheel redraws as you type.
Delete a line to drop someone off, or add a line to put them on.
Hit Spin the wheel, click the wheel itself, or press ctrl and enter.
The winner pops up and lands in the Results tab so you keep a record of every spin.
Tick Remove the winner after each spin to work through a whole list without repeats.

What teams actually use it for

It started as a way to settle the daft arguments. Who takes the last penalty, who is fetching the balls in, who has to ring round about subs again. A wheel ends the debate in four seconds and nobody can accuse anyone of stitching them up.

The ones we see most often are drawing a letter for a Bring an item challenge, choosing who buys the first round, handing out forfeits, picking the captains for a training game, and deciding which poor soul gets a job nobody volunteered for.

Is it actually random?

Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and the wheel is then animated to land on it. Every entry has exactly the same chance, every spin, and the result does not depend on where the wheel stopped last time.

The one thing worth knowing: an entry that appears twice in your list gets two wedges, so it is twice as likely to come up. That is handy if you want to weight the wheel on purpose, and worth checking if you did not.

Free, private, and no account

The whole thing runs in your browser. Your list is never sent anywhere, it is saved on your own device so it is still there next time, and there is nothing to sign up for.

Share this wheel copies a link with your entries baked into it. Anyone who opens it gets your exact wheel, ready to spin, without needing an account either.
