how we choose

Fair pick with crypto.getRandomValues The winner is chosen before the wheel moves, with your browser’s cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues) and no bias toward any position. The animation only lands on that result. With weights on, each entry’s chance is its weight divided by the total.

Paste your class list, spin, and call on the student the wheel picks. Names leave the wheel after their turn.

Fair turns for every student

Random picking keeps the whole class ready to answer and takes away the feeling that the teacher has favourites. With Remove winner on, everyone gets a turn before anyone is called twice.

The wheel comes with 25 sample first names. Replace them with your class list: copy the column from your spreadsheet and paste it into Edit.

Built for the projector

Open full screen to show a large wheel and the picked name in big type. Your list is stored in this browser on your device; nothing is sent anywhere unless you create a share link.

Every spin uses your browser's crypto.getRandomValues, so each sector has the same chance unless you set weights.
