Why Use a Wheel Spinner?
A wheel spinner makes random selection more visual and exciting than a simple text result. It is useful when other people are watching because they can see the wheel spin, wait for the result, and understand that the choice was random.
This makes it especially helpful for teachers, streamers, event hosts, managers, families, and groups of friends.
For example, a teacher can use the wheel to pick a student for an activity. A streamer can use it to choose a giveaway winner. A manager can use it to decide who presents first in a meeting. Friends can use it to decide where to eat or what game to play.

Is the Wheel Random?
The wheel is designed to select an option randomly from the list you enter. Each option should have a fair chance of being selected when the wheel spins.
If the same option appears multiple times in your list, it may have a higher chance of being selected because it is included more than once. For the fairest result, enter each option only once unless you intentionally want to give it more weight.
When Should You Use Remove Winner?
Use Remove Winner when you do not want the same result to be picked again.
This is useful for
- Classroom participation
- Giveaway drawings
- Prize selection
- Team turns
- Task assignment
- Game rounds
For example, if you are choosing five giveaway winners from a list, you can spin once, remove the winner, then spin again until all winners are selected.
When Should You Use Reset?
Use Reset when you want to start over with the original list or clear the current wheel. This is useful when switching from one activity to another or preparing a new group of options.
