Using Entries, Results and Settings

Entries: set up the round

Use the controls available for this tool to edit choices, set a range or choose game rules. Review prompts and repeat settings before spinning. The Sound effects switch is below these controls.

Results: review your history

Read previous selections, newest first, and use Clear history when you want an empty list. This leaves the active choices and no-repeat pool intact.

Settings: choose the look and sound

Choose a wheel theme, select a winning sound and preview it. The Sound effects switch here stays synchronized with Entries. Colors and sounds do not change selection odds.

Wheel controls FAQ

Where can I find or clear previous results?

Open Results to see the newest selections first. Clear history removes that list; it does not restore removed winners or reset a no-repeat round. Use the tool’s reset control when you want to start a new round.

How do I change colors or turn sound off?

Open Settings to choose a theme and winning sound. Sound effects is also available in Entries; both switches control the same setting. Turning sound off mutes wheel clicks and the winning sound. Choosing No winning sound only mutes the celebration. Your sound preference is remembered for this English tool in this browser when browser storage is available.

Do themes change the chance of winning?

No. Themes only change appearance. Two-outcome wheels use two colors and three-outcome wheels use three. Repeated labels share a color in the selected theme. Entries, repeated slices and any weights still determine the odds.

About this tool

What is a Decision Wheel?

A decision wheel turns a list of choices into equal slices and randomly selects one option. It is useful when every choice should have the same chance and you want the selection to be visible to everyone.

Add your own options, choose whether selected answers can repeat, and spin. In no-repeat mode, each winner is removed from the active pool until you reset the round.

How to Use Decision Wheel

Enter your choices

Put one option on each line. You need at least two different choices.

Choose a repeat mode

Allow repeats for independent spins, or prevent repeats for an elimination round.

Spin and review

Spin the wheel and read the selected choice below it. Open Results for earlier picks; Clear history does not restore choices removed in a no-repeat round.

Real Examples

These examples show how the tool can turn a common question or list into a clear random result.

Choose where to eat

Add Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, and Burgers, then spin once to settle dinner without another debate.

Choose a classroom task

Enter presentation topics or group jobs and enable No repeats so each option is assigned once.

Plan movie night

Paste the shortlist of acceptable movies and let the custom decision wheel make an equal-chance pick.

Common Uses

Everyday choices

Choose a restaurant, movie, activity, destination, or task.

Groups and classrooms

Make a visible selection that everyone can follow.

Games

Pick challenges, turns, rewards, or categories without preparing a physical spinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every choice equally likely?

Yes. Each active choice appears once and has the same chance of being selected.

Can I stop a choice from winning twice?

Yes. Turn on No repeats and reset the round whenever you want the full list back.

How many choices can I add?

The tool accepts up to 50 non-empty choices so the wheel remains readable and responsive.

Where is the latest winner, and what does Clear history do?

The selected outcome appears below the wheel as soon as the spin finishes. Results holds earlier picks. Clear history removes those records without restoring used outcomes in a no-repeat round; use Reset round to restore the pool.
