Minden, amit tudnod kell
How does the wheel spinner work?
Enter names or items into the entries panel on the right, then click "SPIN" or click the wheel itself. The wheel spins with a smooth deceleration and stops on a randomly selected entry. Every entry has an equal probability of being chosen each time you spin.
Is the selection truly random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with the browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) before the animation even begins — the spin itself is purely visual. The target segment is calculated first, and the wheel is animated to land precisely on it. No outcome can be predicted or influenced by how long you watch.
How do I add multiple names at once?
Switch to the "Bulk Edit" tab in the entries panel. You can paste or type a list of names — one per line — and the wheel updates instantly. This is the fastest way to load a large list of participants.
Can I remove the winner automatically after each spin?
Yes! Open the Options panel (the gear icon on the wheel page) and enable "Auto-remove Winner". The winning entry will be removed from the wheel after each spin, so it can't be picked again — perfect for raffles and contests.
What is the maximum number of entries?
There is no hard limit enforced by the app. However, with more than 100 entries, the text labels on individual segments become very small. For best readability, we recommend keeping entries under 50. For very large lists, consider splitting them into groups.
Can I save and share my wheel?
You can use the Share button to copy a URL that encodes your wheel title and names directly into the link. Anyone who opens that URL will see your wheel pre-loaded and ready to spin. No account required.
Does it work on mobile and tablet?
Absolutely. The wheel is fully touch-friendly. You can tap the wheel or the Spin button on any device. The layout automatically adapts for smaller screens, stacking the wheel and entries panel vertically.
Can I change the colors of the wheel?
The wheel automatically assigns a unique color to each entry from a built-in palette of 16 colors, cycling through them as more entries are added. Custom color assignment per entry is on our roadmap.
Can I use pre-made wheels from the Gallery?
Yes! Visit the Gallery page to browse ready-made wheels for common scenarios — days of the week, dice, movie genres, countries, and more. Click any template to load it instantly into the spinner.
Is TheNameWheel free to use?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. Simply open the page, add your entries, and start spinning. We don't track personal information or require any account to use the core features.
