Options

How it works

  1. Keep 1 to 10 or type your own lowest and highest number.
  2. Set how many numbers you need and allow or block repeats.
  3. Tap Pick, and switch on sort if you want them in order.

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

Guess my number game

A parent secretly picks with the tool and kids guess higher or lower until someone lands it.

Who goes first

Everyone calls a number from 1 to 10, then the closest guess to the pick starts the game.

Random workout reps

Set 10 to 25 and pick a rep count for each set of squats so the workout never feels the same.

Team numbers at a tournament

Pick 12 numbers from 1 to 12 with no repeats to set a fair bracket order.

Questions people ask

Why do people pick 7 when asked for a number from 1 to 10?

People tend to avoid the ends and round numbers, so 7 feels random to many of us. The tool has no such habit, every number in the range has the same chance.

Can I pick numbers outside 1 to 10?

Yes. Set any lowest and highest value, including big ranges or negative numbers, and the picker uses the whole range evenly.

What does sorting the results do?

When you pick several numbers, sort lists them from lowest to highest. The picks themselves don't change, only the order you read them in.

Can a number come up twice?

Only if repeats are allowed. Turn repeats off and every number in a single draw is different, like balls pulled from a bag.
