Why this wheel works
A small tool for faster decisions
The Wheel of Names turns a list of people into a clear, fair draw. Replace the sample names with students, teammates, entrants, speakers, volunteers, or family members, then spin when everyone is ready. Every active name has the same chance of being selected. You can remove a winner before the next round, keep recent results in the browser, or share a link that opens with the same list already loaded. It works well for classroom participation, presentation order, small giveaways, team activities, and any low-stakes moment when choosing the person yourself could feel biased.
Equal name selection
Each active name receives the same probability on every spin.
Built for repeated draws
Remove a winner, spin again, and review recent results in one place.
Share the same list
Create a link that restores the current names on another device.
