How to use the Decision Wheel
Create a custom spinner with your own choices and colors. Spin to choose a meal, activity, or next task. The controls and result are provided on one page so the task can be completed without an account or uploading the input.
When and why to use it
Use it when a group benefits from seeing all choices and watching a shared selection.
Example
Create a wheel of four weekend activities and present the spin to everyone in the room.
Step-by-step instructions

Replace the sample names with your choices, one per line, such as Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, and Pasta.

Adjust the wheel colors. Enable Remove winner after selection if you want each selected choice to leave the wheel.
- 3
Select Spin the wheel to reveal a choice. Edit the list to reuse the wheel, or share its settings through a link.
How randomness and fairness work
An ordinary decision wheel selects from its distinct eligible entries with equal probability. Four different choices each have a 1 in 4 chance. The animation lands on the selected entry; it does not determine the choice through simulated physical forces.
Limitations
Long labels are shortened on the wheel and should be kept distinguishable.
Questions about the Decision Wheel
How do I create a custom wheel?
Paste or type your choices into Options or names, one per line, and set your preferred colors. The wheel updates from the eligible choices.
Can I give one option a larger chance?
Use the Weighted Random Picker for intentional differences in probability. Enter each option with a positive relative weight and review the displayed percentages before spinning.
Can I save or share the wheel?
Your list is saved automatically in this browser. Share creates a URL containing the current options and supported settings. Recipients can see those options, and their spin makes a new draw.
Why are long choices shortened on the wheel?
Wheel labels display up to 15 characters to fit the segments. The selected result uses the full label. Short, distinct labels make a shared spin easier to follow.
