Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the free random wheel generator — answered.

How does the random wheel generator work?+

Add your items to the list, customize colors if you want, and click SPIN. The wheel uses a cryptographically secure random algorithm to select a winner fairly. Every item has an exactly equal chance of being selected on every spin.

Is it really random and fair?+

Yes. The wheel uses a cryptographically secure random algorithm ensuring every item has an exactly equal chance on every spin — completely unbiased every time. No item is weighted higher than another.

Can I save my lists?+

Your items are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. When you come back, your wheel will be exactly as you left it. No account needed.

Does it work on mobile devices?+

Yes. The wheel is fully responsive and works on all smartphones and tablets running iOS or Android. Tap the SPIN button to spin on mobile.

Do I need to create an account?+

No. The wheel is 100% free with no signup, no login, and no personal information required. Just visit and start spinning.

Can I customize the wheel colors?+

Yes. Click the color square next to each item to choose custom colors. Make your wheel match your brand, event theme, or classroom setup.

How many items can I add?+

As many as you need. The wheel automatically adjusts to fit all entries. We recommend 2–50 items for best readability, but there is no hard limit.

Can I use this for giveaways and contests?+

Yes. Add all participant names, spin the wheel live in front of your audience, and select a winner everyone can see is genuinely random. Used by YouTubers, streamers, and event hosts worldwide.

Is my data private and secure?+

Everything stays in your browser. We do not collect, store, or send your data anywhere. Your lists are completely private.

Can I share my wheel with others?+

Click the Share button to copy a link. Anyone with the link can open the wheel — useful for classrooms, teams, or live events.

Can I use this for classroom activities?+

Absolutely. Teachers use it daily to randomly call on students, assign roles, form groups, pick activities, and run fair decisions without any appearance of favoritism.

Does the wheel work offline?+

Once the page has loaded, the wheel works offline thanks to browser caching. You need an internet connection to first load the site.

What happens if I accidentally close the browser?+

Your items are saved automatically. When you return, your list will still be there — nothing is lost.

Can I use special characters and emojis?+

Yes. Item names support emojis, numbers, special characters, and text in any language. The wheel is fully Unicode-compatible.

Is there a limit to how many times I can spin?+

No limits. Spin as many times as you want, completely free. Perfect for multiple rounds, re-spins, or tournament-style elimination.

Can I use this for daily decisions?+

Yes. Add options like restaurants, movies, tasks, or workout choices and spin to end indecision instantly. Many people use it as a daily decision-making tool.

Why does the wheel spin for a few seconds?+

The multi-revolution spin builds suspense and makes the selection feel dramatic and exciting — especially for live audiences and giveaways.

What is the Shuffle button for?+

Shuffle randomizes the visual order of items on the wheel. It does not affect the fairness of the spin — it just mixes up how items are arranged visually.

Can I remove an item after it wins?+

Yes. After a result, you can manually remove the winning item from the list so it cannot be selected again in the next spin.

Does the wheel track previous winners?+

The wheel shows the current winner in a popup. To track winners across multiple spins, note them down manually — winner history logging is a feature we plan to add.
