Complete Guide to Spin the Wheel
What is a Spin the Wheel Tool?
A spin the wheel tool is an interactive decision-making tool that allows you to create a custom wheel with your own labels and spin it to get a random result. It's perfect for making random selections, choosing winners, making decisions, or adding an element of chance to any situation.
Our spin the wheel tool lets you customize the wheel with any labels you want - names, options, choices, or anything else. Each segment has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring fair and random results.
How to Use Our Spin the Wheel Tool
- Enter your custom labels in the input field, separated by commas
- Each label will become a segment on the wheel
- Click "Spin" to spin the wheel and get a random result
- The wheel will animate and land on one of your labels
- Spin again as many times as needed for multiple selections
Example: Enter "Pizza, Pasta, Burger, Sushi" to create a wheel for deciding what to eat for dinner. Spin the wheel to let chance decide!
Common Use Cases

Tips for Creating Effective Wheels
- Use clear, distinct labels that are easy to read
- Keep labels short (1-3 words) for better visibility on the wheel
- Use 2-12 segments for best visual results
- Separate labels with commas (e.g., "Option 1, Option 2, Option 3")
- Make sure all options are equally valid choices
- Use descriptive labels that clearly represent each option
Understanding Wheel Probability
Our spin the wheel tool ensures fair probability distribution:
- Each segment on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected
- If you have 4 labels, each has a 25% (1 in 4) chance
- If you have 8 labels, each has a 12.5% (1 in 8) chance
- Each spin is independent - previous results don't affect future spins
- The wheel uses cryptographically secure random number generation
Fair Selection: Unlike some physical wheels that might have biases, our digital wheel guarantees truly random and fair selection every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many labels can I add to the wheel?
You can add as many labels as you want, but we recommend 2-12 labels for the best visual experience and readability. Too many labels make the wheel segments very small.
Can I weight certain options to appear more often?
Currently, our tool provides equal probability for all options. Each label has the same chance of being selected. For weighted selection, you would need to add the same label multiple times.
Is the wheel spin truly random?
Yes! Our wheel uses cryptographically secure random number generation, ensuring each spin is completely random and fair. The result cannot be predicted or influenced.
Can I save my wheel configuration?
The wheel configuration is saved locally in your browser. If you clear your browser data, you'll need to re-enter your labels. For permanent storage, note down your labels.
