About the Decision Wheel

The Decision Wheel is a spinning wheel tool for making random picks when you don't want to be the one deciding — or when you genuinely can't decide. Type in whatever options are in play — restaurant names, movie titles, chore assignments, raffle entrants, truth-or-dare prompts — and let a spin settle it instead of arguing it out. It works for anything with a finite list of choices: picking a winner from a giveaway, assigning teams, choosing who goes first in a board game, or just breaking a tie between two lunch spots.

Setup is just typing: add each option as its own entry, and the wheel automatically divides itself into that many colored slices. Hit spin and the wheel rotates and slows down on its own, landing on one slice at random the same way a physical prize wheel would. You can edit the list at any time — add a late entry, remove an option that's out, or wipe the wheel clean and start over for the next round — so it's just as useful for a single quick decision as it is for running several rounds in a row, like eliminating options one spin at a time.

Because everything runs in your browser, there's nothing to install and no account to create — open the page, type your options, and spin. That also means your list of options never leaves your device, which is worth knowing if you're using it for something you'd rather not upload anywhere, like naming candidates for a private decision or a prize list you haven't announced yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the decision wheel work?

Enter a list of options and the wheel spins with a random deceleration to land on one of them. Each option occupies an equal-sized slice, giving every option an equal probability of being selected unless you add duplicates to weight certain options.

Can I weight certain options to make them more likely?

Yes, add an option multiple times to increase its probability proportionally. For example, if you add "Pizza" twice and "Sushi" once, Pizza has a 2-in-3 chance of being selected. You can also directly adjust segment weights if available in the settings.

What is the decision wheel useful for?

The wheel is great for deciding what to eat, picking a random team member for a task, choosing a game to play, resolving friendly disputes, classroom activities, and any situation where you want a fun, visual way to make a random choice.
