Sometimes every option is fine and you simply need one of them chosen.
Wheel Cue turns any list into an interactive spinning wheel. Add names, activities, foods, prizes, tasks or your own choices, then spin to select one at random.
Use it to pick a winner, choose a student, decide what to eat, select a team member, break a tie, or just make an everyday decision more fun. You control the choices; the wheel makes the pick.
How Wheel Cue works
Three steps, no account, no setup.
Add your choices
Type entries one at a time or paste a whole list. Names, meals, numbers, tasks, prizes — anything you can write down becomes a slice.
Set it up how you need it
Remove winners as they are drawn, give some entries a bigger share, change the spin length, or turn the sound off.
Spin and see the working
The result window shows the winner, the exact probability it had, and — if you want it — the raw random draw behind the pick.
A fair wheel that shows its working
A random picker is only useful if people believe the result. So Wheel Cue does not ask you to take it on trust.
The result is drawn before the wheel turns
Every pick comes from crypto.getRandomValues(), your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and it is drawn before the first frame of animation. The spin is then aimed at the entry that already won, so nothing about the animation can change the outcome.
Equal entries, equal chances
With equal entries, every choice has exactly the same probability — and the strip under the wheel says so before you spin. Modulo bias, the small effect that would otherwise favour the first few entries, is removed by rejection sampling.
Weighted choices, stated openly
When you give an entry a bigger share, the wheel shows the new odds rather than hiding them. The result window always reports the actual probability the winner had.

Fullscreen mode fills a projector or a TV with just the wheel, and the spacebar spins it so you can use a clicker.

Every tool, every template, unlimited spins. No premium tier holding features back.
Frequently asked questions
Is Wheel Cue free?
Yes. Every tool works free in your browser, with no account, no sign-up and no limit on spins.
Is the wheel really random?
Yes. Each result is drawn with crypto.getRandomValues() — your browser's cryptographic random number generator — before the animation starts, and modulo bias is removed by rejection sampling. Every result window shows the raw draw and the arithmetic behind it. The full method is here.
Can I add my own names?
Yes. Type or paste a list into the box next to the wheel — one entry per line — and the wheel updates as you type. For a dedicated page, use the random name picker.
Can I paste a whole list at once?
Yes. Paste a column from a spreadsheet or a document and each line becomes one slice. Blank lines are ignored.
Can I stop the same result being picked twice?
Yes. Turn on Remove the winner after each spin and each entry leaves the wheel once drawn. How that changes the odds.
Can some choices have a higher chance?
Yes. Turn on Weighted choices and add *3 after an entry to give it three times the share. The result window reports the true probability. More on weighting.
Can I save a wheel?
Yes. Press Save under the wheel. Saved wheels are kept in your own browser on that device — not on our servers.
Can I share a wheel with someone else?
Yes. Share this wheel builds a link that carries the entries inside it, so anyone who opens it gets the same wheel.
Can I use it for a giveaway?
Yes. The giveaway winner picker removes each winner automatically and exports a full result log with timestamps.
Can I use it in the classroom?
Yes, and it is built for it. The random student picker has no-repeat mode on by default and a fullscreen display for the projector. Student names never leave your browser.
Does Wheel Cue work on mobile?
Yes. The layout is built for a phone first — tap the middle of the wheel to spin.
Should I use a wheel for important decisions?
No. Use it where every option would already be acceptable. Decisions with health, financial, legal or safety consequences should not be left to a spinner.
