How Name Wheel Tool works
Name Wheel Tool turns a simple list into a colorful random picker. Add one entry per line, review the list, and press Spin. The pointer marks one result after the animation finishes. You can keep that entry for an independent new round or remove it before spinning again to create a complete order without repeats.
The wheel accepts names, usernames, numbers, topics, foods, tasks, activities, gift ideas, restaurants, or other short choices. No account is required. Your current list is stored locally in the browser so it can be available when you return, and you can clear it at any time.
- Replace the example entries with your list.
- Check for missing or duplicate items.
- Press Spin and wait for the wheel to stop.
- Remove the result when repeats are not allowed.

Use randomness where every option is acceptable
A wheel can make low-stakes choices faster and more transparent. Teachers can rotate classroom participation, groups can choose a first speaker, families can resolve a dinner debate, and organizers can draw from a verified giveaway list. The visible list helps everyone confirm what was included before the spin.
Randomness is not a substitute for judgment. Do not use the wheel for medical, legal, employment, disciplinary, financial, safety-critical, or other high-impact decisions. For competitions and promotions, follow the published rules and applicable laws. The wheel uses browser pseudorandomness for casual activities and informal selections; it is not an independently audited drawing system.
Giveaways

Open the dinner wheelTips for clearer and fairer spins
Prepare the list before the selection begins, explain whether duplicates and repeat winners are allowed, and remove entries that are not eligible. Keep labels short so they are easier to read. When other people are watching, show the list before spinning and record the process if transparency matters.
Protect privacy by using public display names, initials, entry IDs, or neutral labels rather than phone numbers, email addresses, grades, health information, or other sensitive data. Clear saved entries after using a shared computer.
