Random Picker Wheel
Spin a wheel, draw a ladder, or roll random numbers — fair, unbiased, and right in your browser.
🔒 All draws are processed fairly in your browser with a cryptographic random number generator (crypto).
Three ways to decide
Random Picker bundles three decision tools on one page. The wheel takes a list of names or options — one per line — and spins to a single winner with a quick animated deceleration; it stays readable at roughly 8–12 entries. The ladder (amidakuji, or ghost-leg) pairs two lists — participants on one side, prizes or tasks on the other — by drawing a fresh maze of rungs and tracing each person's path to an outcome; hover a name to follow its line before the reveal. The number picker rolls integers between any min and max: set how many you want, turn on No duplicates for a lottery-style draw (results come back sorted low to high), or leave it off to allow repeats. The free tier draws up to 100 numbers per roll, and 1,000 on Pro.
When it earns its keep
Reach for it whenever a choice should feel fair rather than argued over. The wheel shines live — on a classroom projector, a stream, or a stand-up call — where watching it spin is half the fun: cold-call a student, pick the next presenter, or draw a giveaway winner in front of an audience. The ladder is built for assignment problems: rostering chores, seating a table, secret-santa gift matching, or splitting a bill into shares, since every participant maps to exactly one outcome and no result is claimed twice. The number picker handles raffles by ticket number, lottery-style slips, random sampling for a quiz or spot-check, and dice-free tabletop rolls. Three unrelated jobs, but each comes down to choosing without bias.
Fair by design, private by default
Every draw is powered by your browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), not the predictable Math.random. To keep the odds genuinely even, the tool discards the rare values that would skew a plain modulo, so a 3-way or 7-way split is truly uniform — no entry is quietly favored. The ladder and no-duplicate draws use a Fisher–Yates shuffle, making each possible arrangement equally likely. Just as important, all of this runs on your device: the names, options, and outcomes you type are never uploaded, logged, or shared, so you can drop in real names, salaries, or prize lists without a second thought. Refresh the page for a clean slate.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really fair?
Yes. Draws use the browser's cryptographic RNG (crypto.getRandomValues) with rejection sampling that removes the slight bias a plain modulo would introduce, so every entry has an equal shot. Nothing about the length or order of your list nudges the result.
How does the ladder (amidakuji) mode work?
Enter participants on one side and prizes or tasks on the other, one per line, then build the ladder. It draws random rungs and walks each person down to a single outcome, with no result assigned twice. Hover a name to trace its path before you reveal all the pairings.
How many entries or numbers can I add?
Add as many wheel or ladder entries as you like, though about 8–12 keeps the wheel's labels legible. The number picker draws up to 100 values per roll on the free plan (1,000 on Pro), with or without duplicates.
