About SpinyWheel
SpinyWheel is a free random wheel spinner that runs in your browser. You type entries, press SPACE, and the wheel lands on one of them. There is no account, no download, and no limit on how many times you spin. The site covers 12 categories of ready-made wheels, from classroom pickers to dinner decisions.
What SpinyWheel actually is
SpinyWheel started with one idea: a group decision goes down easier when everyone watches it get made. A number pulled from a hidden generator invites an argument. A wheel that slows down in front of eight people does not.
That is the whole product. Everything on the site exists to make one spin feel fair to the people standing around the screen, and to make the next spin take three seconds instead of thirty.
What can you do with it?
The main page is a blank wheel. Paste a list, one option per line, and slices appear as you type. From there you can weight entries so some come up more often, hide entries without deleting them, shuffle or sort the list, and remove winners as they land for elimination rounds.
Two features you will not find on most spinners:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dual Wheel | Spins two wheels together, so one picks the person and the other picks the challenge |
| Blind Mode | Hides the labels until the wheel stops, useful when people can see the screen |
| Fullscreen | Strips the page down to the wheel for classrooms and live events |
| Themes and sounds | Confetti, coins, emoji, and fanfare, or silence if you would rather not |
If you would rather not build anything, the Przeglądaj gotowe koła menu has ready-made wheels sorted into Decision, Education, Entertainment, Food, Fun, Gaming, Household, Lifestyle, Numbers, Party, Sports, and Tools. Each one loads with entries already in place and stays fully editable.
Who uses SpinyWheel?
Teachers cold calling a class without accusations of favoritism. Streamers running giveaways in front of a live chat that would notice a rigged draw. Parents settling what is for dinner. Game night hosts who lost the dice. Anyone splitting a group into teams and not wanting to be the one who picked.
The common thread is a decision with more than one person watching. A spinner is overkill for choices you make alone.
How random is the spin?
Every result is generated in your browser using cryptographic randomness, which means the outcome is not predictable from the spins that came before it. Nothing is sent to a server to decide the winner.
Streaks happen and they are supposed to. On an eight-name wheel, the same name twice in a row shows up once in every 64 pairs of spins, which is often enough that you will see it during a normal session. Real randomness produces clusters. A wheel that carefully avoided them would be the rigged one.
What SpinyWheel does with your entries
Your entry list is your business. Wheels are built and spun in your browser, so the names you type do not need to leave your device for the wheel to work. Teachers putting a class roster on screen are the reason this matters, and it shaped how the site was built rather than being added afterward.
The Privacy page covers the full detail, including what advertising and analytics on the site involve.
Free, and why
SpinyWheel is free to use with no account and no paid tier gating the core features. Ads on the page cover the hosting. That trade keeps the wheel itself unrestricted: no entry caps, no watermark, no upsell in the middle of your giveaway.
