- Choosing a restaurant for a group meal.
- Running a prize draw at a party.
- Deciding the order of presentations.
Fairness and probability
The wheel picks one entry from the weighted pool. An option with weight 3 appears three times in the pool, so it is three times as likely to be selected as an option with weight 1.
Frequently asked questions
How does weighted selection work?
Each option is added to a temporary pool a number of times equal to its weight. One entry is then chosen uniformly from that pool.
Can I save a wheel for later?
Yes. Saved wheels are stored in your browser’s local storage and can be reloaded or shared via URL.
Is there a full-screen mode?
Yes. Presentation mode hides surrounding content and shows the wheel larger, which is useful for classrooms and meetings.
Accessibility
