How the pick works
The winning slice is chosen with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so every entry has the same chance. The animation then lands on that slice. Nothing you type leaves your device; your list is saved only in this browser.
Ideas
- Classroom: pick who answers next, then turn on “Remove winner”.
- Giveaways: paste commenters’ names, one per line.
- Decisions: what to eat, which movie, who does the dishes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel really random?
Yes. The result uses crypto.getRandomValues, the same random source browsers use for security, and each slice has equal odds.
Can I give one entry more chances?
Add it more than once — each line is its own slice.
Is there a limit?
No hard limit, but names become hard to read beyond about 60 slices.
