Random Wheel Features
SpinWheelia includes practical tools to help you create and manage your wheel quickly.
Add as Many Choices as You Need
Enter your options directly into the wheel's entry list. Add names, numbers, words, prizes, or any other choices. Your entries are displayed directly beside the wheel so you can review your list before spinning.
Results History
The Results section keeps track of the outcomes from your spins. This makes it easy to see previous selections during games, activities, giveaways, classroom exercises, and repeated random draws.
Auto-Remove Winner
Want every participant to have only one turn? Turn on Auto-Remove Winner and the selected entry will be removed after the spin. This is useful when picking multiple names without selecting the same person again.
Shuffle Entries
Use Shuffle to randomly rearrange the order of your choices. Shuffling is useful when you want to mix up a list before starting an activity or game.
Sort Entries
Use Sort to organize your choices into a consistent order. This makes longer entry lists easier to review.
Import CSV
Already have your choices in a spreadsheet? Use Import CSV to bring your list into the wheel instead of entering every choice manually.
Export CSV
You can also use Export CSV to save your wheel's entries as a CSV file for later use or editing.
Share Your Wheel
Use the Share option when you want to share your wheel with other people. This is useful for teachers, teams, games, events, giveaways, and activities where other people need to see or use the wheel.
Fullscreen Mode
Use fullscreen mode when you want the wheel to take up more of your screen. Fullscreen is especially useful when displaying the wheel on a projector, classroom screen, meeting display, or during a group activity.
Keyboard Spinning
You don't always need to click the wheel. Press Space to spin the wheel from your keyboard.
