Spin a wheel. Make a decision. Move on with your day.
Type your options, give the wheel a flick, and let the pointer pick. Set equal odds, custom weights, or a fixed order — whatever your situation needs.
Three ways to spin
Whatever "fair" means to you, Spinly has a mode for it.
Equal odds
The classic. Every option has the same chance of being chosen. Type your list, hit spin, accept your fate.
Weighted random
Give some options higher chances than others. Great when you want randomness but with a thumb on the scale — like prizes where rarer rewards should be rarer.
Fixed sequence
Set the exact order options should be picked in. Perfect for turn-taking, structured games, or running a meeting agenda from a randomized-looking wheel.
Need the wheel to look random while following agreed rules? Weighted and sequence modes work quietly in the background — the wheel stays clean and simple for everyone watching.
What people use Spinly for
A few of the common reasons people pull up the wheel.
What's for dinner?
End the nightly negotiation. Load up the restaurants or recipes you're considering and let the wheel break the tie.
Team decisions
Who's leading the standup? Who pairs with whom? Skip the awkward silence — just spin.
Chore assignments
Make household tasks feel less like punishment and more like a game show. Weighted mode is great here if some chores are bigger than others.
How a spinning wheel actually helps
Most small decisions don't deserve the energy we give them. Whether you eat Thai or Italian tonight isn't going to define your life. But weighing the options, defending your preferences, negotiating with the other person — that easily burns ten minutes and a bit of your patience.
A spinning wheel sidesteps the whole thing. You and the people around you agree in advance to live with whatever comes up, and then it's done. The result feels fair because nobody got to put their thumb on the scale. (Unless you use weighted mode, which is a different kind of fair — one where you've all agreed on the weights up front.)
Spinly is built for that. Open the page, type a few options, hit spin, and you're out the door.
Frequently asked questions
Is Spinly free?
Yes — completely free. No sign-up, no account, no payment. Open the wheel and start using it.
Can I use weighted odds?
Yes. Open the Mode settings on the wheel page and pick Weighted. Each option gets a number; higher numbers mean higher chances of being picked.
Can I make the wheel pick in a fixed order?
Yes. Open the Mode settings and pick Sequence. Add options in the order you want them picked, and the wheel will follow that order behind the scenes while still looking like a normal random spin.
Can I save a wheel?
Yes. Click Save in the toolbar, give your wheel a name, and it's stored in your browser. Click Open later to bring it back.
Does Spinly store my entries on a server?
No. Everything stays on your device. Your saved wheels live in your browser's local storage. Spinly has no database and no account system.
Can I use it in classrooms?
Yes — it's widely used by teachers for random callouts, grouping, discussion prompts, and more. See our classroom wheel ideas article for examples.
Can I use it for giveaways?
Yes. Paste your entrant list into the wheel, spin, and click "Remove" after each winner to keep picking without repeats. There's a ready-made giveaway template too.
Does the wheel work on mobile?
Yes. The wheel and the rest of the site work on phones, tablets, and desktops. No app to install.
