Planning & print / Pick Wheel

Put your choices on a weighted wheel

Spin a local choice wheel with equal or custom weights. Remove selected choices, restore the list, and export the history with each draw’s original chance.

01

Put choices on the wheel

Start with 2–40 distinct choices. Add | 2 for weight 2, or leave the weight off for 1. Weights are whole numbers from 1–100. Labels can have up to 48 characters.

Creating a wheel clears the earlier draw history. Download it first if you want to keep it.

Add your choices or try the example. Everything stays in this tab.

Let the wheel pick

    Draw history

    A little help choosing

    Equal chances, or your own weights.

    Make a list of activities, names, or prompts. Give every choice the same weight for equal chances, or make some more likely. The wheel shows the share of the total weight for each active choice.

    Keep drawing from the same list, or remove each result as you go. Save the history to keep a record of what was picked.

    What does a weight mean?

    A choice with weight 3 has three times the chance of one with weight 1. Its chance on each draw is its weight divided by the total active weight. The wheel uses the browser's cryptographic random generator. The animation lands on the selected segment; it does not determine the choice.

    Can I draw without repeats?

    After each draw, select “Remove this choice” before spinning again. Removal is manual, so a choice can repeat while it remains on the wheel. Restoring all choices keeps earlier history. Creating a new wheel clears it. With one choice left, that choice has a 100% chance.

    Why do some segments have no number?

    Very small segments leave too little space for a readable number. Every choice still appears in the list with its original number, weight, and rounded chance. The saved CSV includes four decimal places for each draw's chance; displayed chances use two.

    What gets saved?

    Up to 500 completed draws stay in this tab. The CSV keeps every result, its weight, the total weight at that draw, its chance, and the UTC time shown by your device. Removing or restoring choices does not rewrite previous probabilities. Download the CSV before creating a new wheel or leaving the page.

    Can I skip or cancel the animation?

    “Show result now” reveals the pending draw immediately. Your system's reduced-motion preference also skips the animation. Editing the list cancels a pending draw without adding it to history; create the wheel to apply your new list.
