Decision Wheel

Type or paste your options, one per line, and press Spin. The winner is chosen the moment you press it, using your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) — the same source used for passwords — with rejection sampling so no entry is favoured by rounding. Only then does the wheel turn, and it is aimed at the slice that already won. The animation is decoration: its speed, a tab switched away mid-spin, or reduced motion turned on in your system settings cannot change the result. With reduced motion the wheel simply moves to the winner without spinning.

Weights. Add x3 (or ×3) after an entry to give it three chances instead of one; its slice grows to match, and the Chances list shows each entry's exact percentage. Weights are whole numbers from 1 to 1000. Listing a name twice is the same as giving it a weight of two — the duplicates are merged into one slice, ignoring capitalisation, so the wheel never shows the same option twice as if it were two.

Several winners. Set Winners above one to draw a group at once — teams, a raffle, a reading order. Without repeats, each winner is removed before the next pick, so the rest are drawn from what remains and nobody is picked twice; the tool will not let you ask for more winners than there are entries. With Allow repeats on, every pick is made from the full list, so the same entry can come up again. The wheel lands on the first winner and the result line lists them all.

Remove. Press Remove beside the result to take the winner off the list before the next spin — a raffle where each name can win once, or working through a to-do list. It takes away one chance, not the whole line: Pizza x3 becomes Pizza x2, and a single-chance entry is deleted. After a draw of several winners it takes one chance from each. The list in the page address follows, so a link copied afterwards shares only what is left.

Every draw is added to the History, newest first, with the time; copy it to paste the results somewhere else. Your list, the number of winners and the repeat setting are saved in the page address, so the link you copy from the address bar opens the same wheel for someone else. The list stays in the link's #fragment, which browsers never send to a server.

Link to this tool with values filled in

Everything after the # stays in your browser — it is never sent to a server — so a link like this opens the tool ready to go without the values travelling anywhere but the address bar:

Join the settings with &, and percent-encode each value so that spaces, newlines and any #, &, = or % inside one do not break the link. Leave a setting out to accept its default. If a setting is not recognised, the page says so rather than quietly ignoring it.

• entries (also options, items, names or choices) — text, up to 4000 characters, required. The options, separated by commas. Add a weight with `x3`, as in `Pizza x3`.
• count (also n, winners or pick) — a whole number from 1 to 500, defaults to 1. How many winners to draw at once.
• repeats (also replacement or with-replacement) — true or false, defaults to false. Whether one entry may win more than once in a draw.
