- Is the wheel actually random?
- Yes — uniform random across all sectors. Every option has exactly a 1/N chance of winning, where N is the number of options. The wheel uses the browser's Math.random under the hood for production spins; the animation is just visual, the winner is decided by the same function that powers the rest of the random tools on the site. Tests cover the math, so it doesn't quietly drift.
- How many options can I add?
- Up to 50. Past that, the sector labels overlap and the wheel becomes unreadable. If you genuinely need a bigger pool, the Random Name Picker handles big lists better (it just shows the winner instead of trying to fit every option onto a wheel).
- What does "Shuffle once before spin" do?
- It randomizes the order of the options on the wheel before spinning. The pick is already uniform-random with or without it, so this is a visual-only toggle — turn it on if you don't want the wheel order to give away which option is at the top, bottom, etc. Some people find seeing the same layout each spin makes the result feel less random, even when it isn't.
- What's the "Remove winner & respin" button for?
- Elimination rounds. Say you have 8 candidates and you want to rank them in random order: spin, the winner is #1, tap Remove winner & respin, the next spin's winner is #2, and so on. Also useful for sequential decisions — pick who orders first, then second, then third, without re-typing the list every time.
- Does the history get saved across reloads?
- No — the last 5 winners are kept in memory only, and the list clears when you close the tab or reload the page. That's deliberate: this tool is for one-off decisions, not a tally tracker. If you want a persistent counter, use the Clicker Counter instead.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- No. The options you type, the spin, the winner, the history — all of it lives in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored. Close the tab and it's gone.
- Can two people see the same wheel and watch it spin together?
- Not in this version. Each browser session is independent. If you want to settle a remote decision, share your screen — the spin animation is the same on every device.
- How is this different from a coin flip or dice roll?
- A coin flip is one of two; a die is one of 6 (or 20). The wheel is one of N, where N is whatever you type. Coin Flip and Dice Roller are better when the options are abstract (yes/no, 1-6); the wheel is better when the options are named (pizza, burger, sushi, salad) because you can see which is winning as it slows down.
