How to use Spin a Wheel
- 1. List your entries. Type each name, number or option on its own line in the input pane, such as the names of everyone in the group or the choices you are deciding between.
- 2. Set how many spins to run. Enter a value for How many spins to draw more than one winner in a single pass, for example picking three raffle winners at once instead of running the wheel repeatedly.
- 3. Choose a separator for multiple results. Set the Separator used between winners when How many spins is greater than one, such as a comma or a line break, so the output matches how you plan to use it.
- 4. Read off the winner. The output pane shows the randomly selected entry or entries. Copy the result to announce a winner, assign a task, or record the outcome of the draw.
When to use Spin a Wheel
Spin a Wheel picks one or more random entries from a list you provide, standing in for a physical spinning wheel without needing to draw one. Use it whenever a group needs a fair, visibly random way to choose a name, a number or an option from a shortlist.
- Picking who goes first in a game. A board game night needs to decide turn order fairly. List every player's name and spin once to get an impartial answer instead of arguing over who starts.
- Drawing raffle or giveaway winners. A community event is giving away three prizes among fifty entrants. List the entries, set How many spins to three, and the tool draws that many winners in one go.
- Assigning a random task or chore. A household or team needs to decide who takes on an unpopular task this week. List the names and spin the wheel to make the choice free of favoritism.
- Choosing a random topic or question. A trivia host or classroom teacher lists a set of topics or question categories and spins to decide which one comes up next, keeping the session unpredictable.

About the Spin a Wheel tool
Spin a Wheel does its work locally, right in the browser. Spin a wheel to pick a name, number, or a winner. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the Random Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 120 small, focused Random utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
You can shape the output with 2 settings, including How many spins and Separator, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spin a Wheel free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
