Type in the names, spin the wheel, get a winner. A free spinner wheel for classrooms, giveaways and group decisions — no signup, and every name stays in your browser.
A name wheel does one job: it makes a choice that nobody in the room can argue with. Type the names, press spin, and the wheel decides in front of everyone — no drawing from a hat, no teacher's-favourite suspicion, no arguing over who went first last time.
Cold-call students without always landing on the same hands, pick group leaders, or assign presentation order. Turn on remove-after-spin and the wheel works its way through the whole class exactly once.
Paste your entrant list, spin on camera, and the draw is visible from start to finish. Every result is timestamped in the history below the wheel, so you have a record of the order winners came out in.
Names go into your browser and stay there — no account, no upload, no list sitting in someone's database afterwards. That matters more than it sounds when the wheel is loaded with a class register or a list of customers who entered a promotion.
Set how long each spin runs, remove winners as they come out, and export the list when you are done so the same group is one click away next week. It works the same on a projector, a laptop, or a phone held up to a table.
It is the first thing anyone asks when the wheel lands on their name — or doesn't. The honest, checkable answer:
The winner is chosen by your browser's random number generator, and the wheel is then rotated to land on that name. The spin you watch is a faithful animation of a draw that has already been made fairly.
Every name gets an identical segment of the wheel, so the picture matches the maths: with 12 names, each has a 1 in 12 chance, every single spin.
The wheel does not track who has won before or try to even things out. Unless you remove winners yourself, a name can come up twice in a row — that is what random looks like.
The draw happens on your machine, not ours. There is no server that could weight a result, and no way for us to influence a spin even in principle.
If you need a verifiable public draw for a legally binding prize, use a service that publishes a signed, auditable record. For classrooms, standups, game nights and ordinary giveaways, an equal-segment wheel driven by the browser's random number generator is exactly the right tool.
Type them in one at a time, or import a list you exported earlier. Edit and shuffle freely before you spin.
Press the button and let it run. Set a longer spin duration when you want to draw out the suspense on a projector.
The winner is announced and logged with a timestamp. Remove them automatically if the next spin should pick someone new.

No. This is an independent free spinner wheel and is not affiliated with wheelofnames.com or any other wheel site. It does the same job — enter names, spin, get a winner — and keeps your list in your browser rather than in an account.
No. There is no account, no saved-wheel step and no link to share before you can spin. Open the page, type names, press the button.
There is no hard limit, but labels get hard to read past roughly 30 names. For a bigger draw, spin in rounds, or turn on remove-after-spin so the wheel empties as winners come out.
Yes — turn on the remove-winner-after-spin setting. Each winner is taken off the wheel, which is what you want for assigning unique roles or drawing an ordered list of prize winners.
It is not weighted. All segments are equal and the winner comes from your browser's random number generator, so every name has the same chance on every spin regardless of what happened before.
Yes. Export the list and spin history to a file and import it whenever you need that group again — the same class, the same team, the same recurring game night.
Yes. The page is responsive and the wheel scales to the screen, so it works on a phone passed around a table and on a classroom display driven from a laptop.
