About this tool

Spinner Wheel is a visual random picker. Paste a list of names, choices, or prizes, one per line, and the wheel renders a slice for each entry. Click Spin the wheel and the SVG spins with a cubic ease-out for a few seconds, lands on one entry, and announces a winner. The pick is decided by the browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), weighted by each entry's slice size, so the visual result and the underlying random draw always match. Three things make this wheel useful beyond a basic randomizer. First, you can weight entries by adding x2, x3, and so on after a name, which widens the slice and boosts the odds proportionally (handy for prize draws where some tickets count more, or for sports where you want to bias an outcome by skill). Second, an optional Remove winner on pick mode turns the wheel into a raffle or elimination tool: the winning entry is removed after each spin, so you can draw five names in sequence without retyping or accidentally repeating. Third, you can set a custom slice color per entry by adding a hex code (Alice #ff8800), or choose between a built-in palette and a single-color mode for the whole wheel. Other controls include a spin duration slider (2.5 to 8 seconds), a number-of-turns slider (4 to 14 full rotations) for more or less dramatic spins, an optional tick sound generated locally with the Web Audio API (no audio file is downloaded), and a shuffle button that reorders the entry list using a Fisher-Yates shuffle so the visual position of names changes between rounds. A history panel keeps the last fifty winners in newest-first order with timestamps and one-click copy. Useful for classroom name picking, team assignment, raffle draws, prize wheels, what-to-eat-tonight decisions, who-goes-first turn order, prize giveaways on streams, brainstorming prompts, and any time you need a fair, visible random pick from a list. Everything runs in your browser; the entry list, winners, and history never leave your device.
