Spinner Wheel
Free random name picker — add your entries, spin the wheel, and get an instant winner. Perfect for giveaways, classrooms, and decisions.
How to Use the Spinner Wheel
- Add your entries — type names, options, or items in the text box on the right (one per line). The wheel updates in real time.
- Click "Spin" — press the center button and the wheel spins for 3 seconds with a smooth deceleration.
- See the result — the arrow points to the winner. The selected name appears below the wheel.
- Spin again — click "Spin" as many times as you want. Each spin is independent and random.
Use Shuffle to randomize the order of entries, Sort to arrange alphabetically, or Hide Names to collapse the names panel for a cleaner presentation during live events.
