Step-by-step instructions
List acceptable choices
Enter at least two options that you would actually accept. Remove unsuitable choices before spinning.
Check that every option has one entry
Use one line per equal-chance option. Identical repeated entries can be removed with the duplicate setting.
Spin and use the selected option
Select Spin the wheel. Follow the displayed result or save it before another generation. Decide any exception rule beforehand.
Worked example
A group has narrowed the evening’s watchlist to five agreed titles. Each title gets one entry.
One valid result is shown below. Your generated outcome will vary.
Example input
Movie A Movie B Movie C Movie D Movie E
Example result
1. Movie E
The wheel selects a supplied movie. It does not check streaming availability, age suitability, language, or running time.
Choose one title versus ordering the whole watchlist
Use the wheel for tonight’s single choice. If every title should eventually be watched in a random sequence, use Playlist Shuffler with the movie list instead. Agree before drawing whether a technical availability problem permits a replacement, so repeatedly rejecting inconvenient results does not become an unspoken preference system.
Settings and limits to check
The example has 5 retained entries. The wheel accepts 2–20 retained entries and gives each entry an equal chance. It does not research the choices, check suitability, or apply explicit weights. Longer lists use numbered wheel segments with a label key. If probabilities should differ, use Weighted Random Picker rather than presenting an equal-entry wheel as a weighted draw.
Settings used in this example
Remove duplicate entries: On
Keep a usable copy of the result
Use Copy to place the current result in your own notes, or Download to keep a text file. Keep the eligible input list with the result when you need to explain which entries took part. A new generation replaces the displayed result rather than adding to a saved history.
The tool runs in your browser and does not upload your input. Save the result before refreshing or leaving the page. If other people need to use the same outcome, share your saved copy rather than asking them to generate another independent result.
Frequently asked questions
Can it check whether a movie is available on my streaming service?
No. Confirm availability before adding titles to the wheel.
Can I give one choice a larger explicit weight?
Use Weighted Random Picker for numeric weights. This wheel chooses among its entries with equal probability.
Does the wheel know which option suits me?
No. It chooses only from the text you supply. Filter the choices yourself before spinning.
What should I check in the worked example?
The wheel selects a supplied movie. It does not check streaming availability, age suitability, language, or running time.
