How SpinnPick works

Simple, fast, and fair decision making in a few clicks.

  1. Add your options

    Type names or choices into the options panel, or paste a whole list at once. Each option gets its own color, and you can set weights if some should be more likely.

    Or start from a template

  2. Spin the wheel

    Press SPIN (or the Space bar). The wheel spins, the pointer clicks past each peg, and it slows to a stop on a random segment.

  3. Get your result

    The winner pops up. Spin again, remove it from the wheel, or keep a tally. Your options are saved in your browser for next time.

What is a spin wheel?

A spin wheel (also called a picker wheel, random wheel, or spinner wheel) is a tool that picks one option from many at random. The wheel is divided into segments, one per choice, and wherever it stops decides the outcome.

SpinnPick is a free, customizable wheel spinner that works instantly in any web browser. Spins use your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so results are fair and unbiased.

A brief history

Spinning wheels have stood for chance for centuries — the “Wheel of Fortune” appears in medieval philosophy as a symbol of fate. They became a household sight through TV game shows like Wheel of Fortune (first aired in 1975) and carnival prize games.

Online, the wheel became an everyday tool: teachers use it to call on students, streamers for giveaways, and friends to settle what to eat.

Why wheels work

Master the art of random selection

Getting started with spinner wheels

A spinner wheel randomly selects one option from a list. Add your choices, adjust colors if you like, and spin. It’s ideal for group decisions, breaking ties, and tough calls.

  • Start with 3–12 options for the most readable wheel
  • Keep labels short and clear
  • Use colors to group related options
  • Use weights to make some outcomes more likely

Tips for better decisions

A randomizer wheel isn’t only about leaving things to chance. It removes bias and makes you consider every option fairly.

  • List all viable options before spinning
  • Notice how you feel about the result — it often shows what you really wanted
  • Use it to break deadlocks in group decisions
  • Combine it with your own judgment for complex choices

Advanced features explained

A few features make the wheel useful for more than quick picks.

  • Weights: assign probabilities to favor certain outcomes
  • Templates: load a pre-made wheel for common scenarios
  • Fullscreen: show just the wheel for presentations and streams
  • Share: send a link to your wheel and result
