Random number wheel

A number wheel is the simplest random number generator you can show to a room. Spin once and everyone sees the result.

Ready

Your winner appears here

One per line. Paste a list, edit anytime.

Set the range you actually need

Replace the default 1–20 list with the range for your game or activity. Keep the labels short; a 100-number wheel is technically possible but unreadable on a phone.

For a large range, split it into tens or use the wheel to choose a group first, then a number within that group. The result stays visible and the wheel stays legible.

Games and classroom uses

Use numbers for bingo calls, question numbers, queue positions, or a random starting point in a list. The full number list is visible, so nobody has to trust a hidden generator.

For a classroom, numbers avoid putting student names on screen. Pair the number with a printed list that only the teacher holds.

Fairness and repeats

Leave Remove winner off when repeated numbers are allowed, such as independent dice-style draws. Turn it on when each number must appear once, such as assigning question numbers.

Every number has the same slice unless you deliberately use weights. There is no hidden preference for the first or last number.

Make it readable

Twenty entries is the practical limit for a phone. On a projector, up to about 30 short labels still works. Beyond that, use groups or a smaller range.

The result card shows the selected number in large type, which is easier to read from the back of a room than the slice itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I spin numbers 1 to 100?

Yes. Replace the entries with 1 through 100, one per line. For readability on a phone, split the range or use a smaller wheel.

Can the same number appear twice?

Yes by default. Enable Remove winner if each number should appear only once.

Is this a true random number generator?

The selection uses the browser's cryptographic random generator. The visual wheel is only a representation of the result.

Can I use negative numbers or decimals?

Yes. Any short label works, including negative numbers and decimals. Keep the list readable.

Make your own wheel

Start from a blank list and add exactly the entries you need. The wheel updates as you type.
