Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add items to the wheel?
Type your items in the text area on the right side (or below the wheel on mobile), one item per line. The wheel updates in real-time as you type.
Is the wheel spin truly random?
Yes! The winner is determined using the Web Crypto API before the spin animation begins. The animation is purely visual — the result is cryptographically random.
Can I customize the wheel colors?
The wheel automatically assigns colors from a carefully chosen palette to each segment. Custom colors per segment will be available in a future update.
How many items can I add to the wheel?
You can add as many items as you like, though for the best visual experience we recommend 2 to 20 items. The text will automatically scale to fit each segment.
Can I share my wheel with others?
Shareable wheel links are coming soon! For now, you can share your wheel by copying the list of items.
