Help & Shortcuts

Everything you need to know to use the wheel and the coin flip. For how results are generated, see Fairness & Randomness.

Adding entries

Type entries into the editor, one per line. You can bulk-paste a list from anywhere — a spreadsheet column, a chat message, a document — and each line becomes an entry. Pasting CSV also works: the first column is used as the entry name, and if a second numeric column is present it is used as the weight. Ready-made lists are on the templates page.

Weights & probability

Each entry can have a weight (default 1). An entry with weight 2 is twice as likely to win as one with weight 1, and its segment on the wheel is drawn twice as large. The probability preview next to each entry shows its exact chance as a percentage, updated live as you edit.

Winner modes

• Keep — the winner stays on the wheel and can win again next spin.
• Remove — the winner is taken off the wheel after each spin.
• Ask — after each spin you choose whether to keep or remove the winner.

Two related modes: no-repeat prevents the same entry from winning twice in a row without removing it, and elimination spins repeatedly, removing winners until one entry remains — useful for picking a single survivor from a long list.

Saving your wheels

Your current wheel is autosaved as you edit, so closing the tab loses nothing. You can also create named saves to keep multiple wheels and switch between them. Everything is stored locally in your browser — no account needed. See the privacy policy for details.

Sharing via URL & QR

The share button produces a link (and a QR code) with your entire wheel configuration — entries, weights, colors, and settings — encoded directly in the URL. Anyone who opens it gets an exact copy of your wheel. Your spin history is never included in share links.

Exporting

Spin history can be exported as CSV or JSON, including timestamps and winners. The wheel itself can be downloaded as a PNG image for slides, posts, or printouts.

Keyboard shortcuts

Motion & sound

If your system has reduced motion enabled, the spin animation is shortened to a brief, gentle transition — the result is identical either way. Sound effects can be muted with the speaker toggle, and the setting is remembered.
