Numbers 1 to 10. Tap Spin.

Options

How it works

  1. Enter the lowest and highest number, up to 100 slices.
  2. Set how many numbers to pick, then turn no repeats on or off.
  3. Tap Spin and read the number under the pointer.

Every pick starts from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so each option has the same chance unless you set a weight. How the randomness works.

Ways to use it

Bingo-style number calling

Board game without dice

Lost the dice? Spin from 1 to 6, or 2 to 12 for two-dice games, though the odds differ from real dice.

Questions people ask

What is the biggest number wheel I can make?

The wheel holds up to 100 slices, so a range like 1 to 100 or 201 to 300 works. For bigger ranges, the Pick a Number tool skips the wheel.

Is spinning 2 to 12 the same as rolling two dice?

No. On the wheel every number is equally likely, but with two real dice 7 comes up most and 2 or 12 least. Use the wheel when you want flat odds.

How does no repeats work?

Each number that comes up is left out of later spins until you reset. That is how a raffle or calling game should run.

Can I spin for several numbers at once?

Yes, set how many numbers to pick and the wheel returns that many in one go, with or without repeats.
