Decision Wheel
Stuck on "what should I do?" Drop your options onto the wheel, give it a spin, and let chance make the call.
Decision wheel
Add, then spin. The wheel below starts with six generic options — replace them with your own choices, then press SPIN. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you enter is stored.
The wheel
A decision wheel is a spinner you fill with your own choices. Each option gets an equal slice, so when you spin, every option has the same chance of winning — a fast, impartial way to answer "what should I do?" without overthinking it.
Key takeaways
- Equal segments → every option has the same odds.
- Every spin is random and independent of the last.
- Remove-winner mode works through a list without repeats.
- For fun & low-stakes choices — not gambling or big decisions.
How the decision wheel works
The wheel is divided into equal colored segments — one for each option you add. Press SPIN and the wheel rotates a random amount with a smooth, slowing animation before it stops. A fixed pointer at the 12 o'clock position marks the winner. Because the stopping point is chosen at random and the slices are the same size, each option you put on the wheel has an equal chance of being picked.
Add two options and it behaves like a coin flip; add six and each covers a sixth of the wheel. The odds always reflect exactly what is on the wheel, so the more options you add, the lower each one's individual chance.
When to use a decision wheel
A decision wheel is for any moment where a quick, neutral nudge beats endless deliberation:
- What to cook or order when nobody can agree on dinner.
- Which chore to do first — let the wheel set the order.
- Where to go — pick between movies, parks, or restaurants.
- Who goes first in a game or who picks the music.
- Classroom prompts — choose an activity, topic, or reward.
Only need a yes or no? Use the Yes or No Wheel. Down to exactly two choices? The This or That Wheel is built for head-to-head tie-breakers.
How the odds change as you add options
| Options on the wheel | Segments | Chance of each |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | ~50% |
| 4 | 4 | ~25% |
| 6 | 6 | ~17% |
Each equal segment has the same chance; adding options simply divides the wheel into more equal slices.
Frequently asked questions
How does the decision wheel choose?
The wheel splits into one equal segment per option you add. When you spin, it rotates a random amount and slows to a stop; a fixed pointer at the top marks the winning segment. Because the stopping point is random and every segment is the same size, each option has the same chance of winning.
How many options can I add?
Add as many as you like. Two options behave like a coin flip; with more, the wheel simply divides into more equal slices. Labels shorten on the wheel face when they get long, but the full text stays in the editor.
Is the result actually random?
Yes. Each spin uses your browser's random number generator to pick the landing position, so outcomes are unweighted and unpredictable. Past spins never influence future ones.
Can I remove an option once it wins?
Yes — turn on "Remove winner & respin" and each winner is taken off the wheel after it lands, which is handy when you want to work through a list without repeats.
What should I use a decision wheel for?
It is built for fun and low-stakes choices — what to cook, which chore to tackle, where to go, who goes first. Don't use it for gambling, money, legal, medical, or other high-stakes decisions.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. The wheel runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.
The wheel selects a landing position using the browser's built-in random number generator (Math.random). Outcomes are unweighted and independent: with equal segments, each option has an equal chance, and previous spins have no effect on future ones. See Are spinner wheels really random? for how this works.
