Frequently Asked Questions about Random Name Picker Wheel

How do I pick a student fairly with the wheel?
Type or paste your class list into the name box (one name per line) and hit spin. Every name gets an equal slice of the wheel, so every student has exactly the same chance. Turn on "Remove winner after spin" so the same student is not picked twice in a row.
Can I split a group into teams?
Yes. Click the Team Splitter preset and the wheel assigns your name list alternately to Team A and Team B. Hit Shuffle Order first if you want the team assignment to be random instead of following list order.
Is the name picker truly random?
Yes. The wheel uses a random number generator on every spin and each name has an identical probability of winning. The spin history panel shows the result distribution so you can verify fairness yourself.
Can I save my name list?
Yes. Your list is saved automatically in your browser, so when you come back the wheel restores exactly the names you had last time. No account or sign-up needed.
Is the random name picker free?
Completely free. There is no download, no sign-up, and no limit on spins or names. It runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet, or desktop.

About the Random Name Picker Wheel

This random name picker wheel is a free online wheel spinner built for fast, fair random picks. Type or paste your names one per line, spin the wheel, and let the pointer choose. Teachers use it as a name picker for the classroom to call on a random student, coaches and party hosts use the Team Splitter to divide a group into Team A and Team B, and anyone stuck on a decision can spin the Yes/No/Maybe preset. The wheel uses a real random number generator, so every name gets an identical chance on every spin, and the spin history panel logs the result distribution if you want proof. Your name list is saved automatically in your browser between visits, and the optional "Remove winner after spin" mode takes each winner off the wheel so nobody is picked twice. The spin itself feels great too: smooth deceleration, a tick as the pointer passes each name, and a satisfying reveal at the end. No download, no sign-up, and it works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
