Wheel of Names
Wheel of Names
Enter options, spin the wheel, and watch it land. This wheel of names works as a random picker wheel; add item*number for a weighted spin.
Weighted roulette guide
- Enter one item per line to create wheel slices.
- To use weights, add *number after an option. Example: Movie*3
- Higher weights make larger slices and increase the chance of winning.
Omitted weights are treated as 1. Use the item*number format to avoid confusion.
Result

Purpose
