When this wheel helps

  • Assigning roles in a group project
  • Deciding presentation order in class
  • Choosing a study topic for the session
  • Picking debate sides fairly

Quick tips

  1. Paste your full list with Bulk edit instead of typing entries one by one.
  2. Shuffle entries before an important spin so segment order does not look fixed.
  3. Set spin duration to about 6 seconds for groups — short spins feel abrupt on a big screen.
  4. Check the Results tab if you need a quick history of recent winners.
  5. Use remove-winner when you need several unique picks from the same list.

Click the wheel or press Space on your keyboard. The wheel spins and stops on one entry. You can also tap the wheel on a phone or tablet.
