Spin the Wheel of Names FAQ

Is the wheel random?

Yes. The browser selects one equal-sized segment with a cryptographically secure random value before the animation reveals the result.

Are my wheel entries saved?

No. Entries and spin history stay in your browser. Entries appear in a URL only when you choose to copy a share link or embed code.

Can the same name win twice?

Yes by default. Turn on Remove winners when you need a random order without repeated names.

Can I paste a class list?

Yes. Paste one name per line; duplicate and blank lines are removed automatically.
