Frequently Asked Questions about Random Name Picker Wheel

Is the wheel spin actually random?

Yes. The wheel uses a cryptographic or standard pseudo-random number generator to determine the final rotation angle before the spinning animation even starts. The visual spin accurately lands on the pre-calculated random segment.

Can I save my lists of names?

As you type or modify the list of names, they are automatically stored in the input field. However, to permanently save multiple different lists across devices, you would need to save them locally in a text file.

How many names can I add to the wheel?

You can add hundreds of names! The wheel will dynamically slice itself to accommodate all entries. However, adding more than 100 names might make the text on the wheel very small visually, though it will still function perfectly.

Can I remove a name after they win?

Yes! When a winner is selected, a dialog appears with the option to remove that specific name from the wheel for subsequent spins, making it ideal for elimination games or raffles.

Does this work on mobile devices?

Absolutely. The random name picker is designed to be fully responsive and works beautifully on any mobile phone or tablet.

Features That Provide the Best Experience

Fair & Unbiased Selection

The underlying randomization algorithm guarantees that every slice on the wheel has an exactly equal statistical probability of being selected, ensuring fairness in every draw.

Elimination Mode

Once a name is picked, you can easily remove the winner from the list with a single click. This prevents duplicates and allows you to continue spinning until the wheel is completely empty.

How to Get the Most Out of the Spinner

Getting started is incredibly fast. Simply locate the text box and begin typing or pasting your entries—one item per line. The wheel will instantaneously update its visual segments and colors to reflect your data.

If your list feels too predictable, use the Shuffle button to completely randomize the order of the slices before spinning. The smooth deceleration physics of the wheel builds anticipation exactly like a physical prize wheel, concluding with an exciting celebration when the winner is finalized. And because everything processes locally directly within your browser, your entered data remains completely private.
