Wheel of Names

This wheel of names turns a list of names into a wheel you can spin on any screen, and the Share button turns it into a link, so a class, a team or a group chat can open the same wheel and spin it themselves.

Type the names in, or paste a list, and each one becomes a slice. Spin, and the wheel stops on one name, drawn with your browser's Web Crypto API before it starts moving.

What makes a wheel of names more useful than a plain list is that people can watch it. On a projector in a classroom, a screen in a meeting room or a shared screen on a call, everyone sees the same spin land on the same name, and nobody wonders whether the person running it chose. Press the full screen button and the wheel fills the display.

To give someone else the wheel, press Share. The link carries the names, so whoever opens it gets the same wheel ready to spin, with nothing to sign up for. Teachers post it to a class page so students can spin for their own groups. Friends drop it in a group chat to settle whose turn it is to host. If the group is in different places and has to see the same result at the same moment, open a Live Spin room instead: one person spins and everyone in the room watches it land together.

Wheels you name in the Wheels tab stay in this browser for next time. If you are comparing name wheels, the comparison page lists what each one does. PickerSpin is a separate site and is not connected to wheelofnames.com.
