A random wheel picker is one of the simplest and most visual ways to make a fair, unbiased selection from a list of entries. Whether you are running a giveaway, picking a student in class, or deciding what to have for dinner, the wheel picker makes the process transparent and engaging.
Step 1: Add your entries
Open Universal Wheel Picker and type or paste your entries into the text box on the left — one per line. These can be names, options, numbers, or any text. The wheel will update in real time as you type, showing each entry as a coloured segment.
Step 2: Set your options
Below the text box you will find two options. "Remove duplicate entries" ensures each unique entry appears only once on the wheel, regardless of how many times it was typed. "Shuffle order on each spin" randomises the segment positions before every spin, adding an extra layer of unpredictability on top of the random landing point.
Step 3: Spin the wheel
Click the Spin button (or click the wheel itself). The wheel accelerates and then decelerates smoothly using a cubic ease-out animation. It stops on a segment chosen by crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's built-in cryptographically secure random number generator.
Step 4: See and share your result
The winning entry is displayed below the wheel with a Spin Again button and a Copy Winner button. Use Spin Again for another draw with the same entries, or update your list and spin again.
Tips for best results
Keep entries concise so they fit clearly on the wheel segments. For giveaways, record your screen while spinning to show your audience a transparent selection. With the duplicate removal option enabled, the same person cannot appear twice even if they were entered multiple times.
