What is a decision maker?
Here, a decision maker is an online wheel that picks one option from your list at random. The term can also mean a person who makes the final call.
PizzaSushiTacosPastaBurgersCurry6 options in, 1 pick out
A random decision maker works like drawing a name from a hat. You list the options, each one gets an equal slice of the wheel, and one spin picks the answer.
When every option is good enough, more thinking rarely changes the outcome. A spin ends the back-and-forth, and you can always spin again.
Good for
- Choices where any option is fine
- Taking turns and picking who goes first
- Settling a group debate
Not for
- Medical, legal or money decisions
- Official prize draws and raffles
Not to be confused with a decision matrix, which scores options against criteria. This decision maker doesn’t weigh anything. It just picks.
How the decision maker works
Three steps and nothing to set up. The wheel starts with an example list, so you can spin first and edit later.
- 1
Add your options
Type or paste one option per line, or load a quick list and edit it. Up to 100 lines.
- 2
Spin the wheel
The pick is made the moment you press Spin. The wheel then turns to show you where it landed.
- 3
Go with it, or go again
Spin again, remove the winner for the next round, or copy the result to share it.

Load one into the decision maker, then rename, add or delete anything. If you have typed your own list, you are asked first.

A decision maker for everyday choices
Pick from options you already have. When any answer is fine, one spin is all you need.
Everyday choices
Lunch spots, what to cook, which chore comes first. When every option is fine, one spin ends the back-and-forth.
- Where to eat
- What to cook
- Which chore first
Friends and family
Let the wheel pick who goes first, who chooses the film, or which game comes next, so nobody has to be the decider.
- Turn order
- Movie night
- Weekend plans
Classrooms and events
Paste a class list or group numbers, spin, then remove each pick so everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice.
- Call on a student
- Group numbers
- Presentation order
Small touches that keep it quick
Everything sits on one screen, with no settings to dig through.
Shuffle and tidy
Mix up the order on the wheel, or clear out duplicate lines in one click.
Remember on this device
Switch it on to keep your list for next time. Switch it off and the saved copy is erased.
A wheel for any display
Responsive layout keeps the wheel, spin button, and live result front and center on phones, laptops, and large screens.
Keyboard and screen readers
Every control works from the keyboard, results are announced as text, and reduced-motion settings skip the long spin.
How the decision maker stays fair
Each line on your list is one ticket. With four lines, each has a 1 in 4 chance on every spin.
- Picked before the wheel moves
- Pressing Spin draws the result first. The animation shows it; it cannot change it.
- Every spin starts fresh
- With repeats on, each spin is independent. No repeat picks excludes selected entries until you restart the round.
- Duplicates are extra chances
- Enter an option twice and it gets two slices. The editor points this out, so it stays your call.
- No hidden weighting
- No sponsored options and no adjustments to the odds. Every line counts the same.

Under the hood: crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling, so rounding never favours the options at the top of your list.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Every line on your list has the same chance. The pick comes from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (the Web Crypto API), mapped to your list with rejection sampling so no option is favoured. The result is chosen first, and the wheel then turns to show it.
By default, yes: each spin is independent. Turn on No repeat picks to exclude each selected entry until you restart the round. Your original list stays intact.

Yes. The clean, responsive layout keeps the wheel, spin button, and live outcome prominently displayed so everyone can easily follow along on a shared monitor, TV, or projector. No repeat picks is useful for taking turns, and Restart round makes every entry eligible again.
It gets two slices, so it has twice the chance. The editor tells you when there are duplicates, and Remove duplicates keeps just the first copy of each.
From 2 to 100, one per line, with up to 80 characters each. Big lists show shorter labels on the wheel, but the result is always shown in full text.

Ordinary spins stay in your browser. “Remember on this device” stores the homepage list locally only when enabled. Separately, saving a custom shareable page uploads its configuration. Anyone with its link can view it; only the creating browser can edit or delete it. Spin results are never uploaded.
This decision maker is built for everyday, low-stakes choices. It is not a certified or auditable drawing system, so for prize draws with rules or legal requirements, use a service that can provide a verifiable record.
Yes. The wheel, the Spin button and the result stay together on small screens, the editor sits right below, and everything also works with a keyboard or screen reader.
