Question 1

Is the Wheel of Names completely random?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each spin uses JavaScript's Math.random() function, which generates a pseudo-random number to determine the winning slice.

Question 2

How many names can I add to the wheel?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard limit. The wheel automatically resizes each slice to fit all entries. For best readability, we recommend keeping it under 50 names.

Question 3

Can I save my wheel of names?

Accepted Answer

Your names are stored as long as the page is open. Bookmark the page after adding your names — reopening the same tab in most browsers will restore the state.

Question 4

Does the Wheel of Names work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The wheel is fully responsive and works on iOS, Android, and any modern mobile browser.

Question 5

What is the difference between the Wheel of Names and a random name generator?

Accepted Answer

A random name generator typically creates fictional names from a database. Our Wheel of Names picks from the specific names you provide.

Question 6

Can I use this as a random student picker?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it is one of the most popular uses. Teachers add their class roster, then spin the wheel to call on a student.
