Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about usage, repeatability, and output quality.
01How do I use the Wheel of Names?
Enter a list of names in the text area (one per line), optionally set weights (format: name:weight), then click 'Spin' to pick a random winner.
02How do I set weights?
Use the format 'name:weight', e.g., 'Alice:2' means Alice has a weight of 2. Higher weight means higher probability of being selected.
03Can I add duplicate names?
Duplicate names are automatically removed. Each name appears only once.
04Can I share the result?
Yes. Click the share button to generate a link with the seed parameter. Others will see the same wheel and result.
05Where is the spin history?
Spin results are saved in your browser's local storage. You can view the last 20 results.
06How many names can I add?
There is no hard limit, but we recommend up to 100 names for best performance.
