Name Generator Wheel

Use this name generator wheel to pick a random name from a list. Add your names, watch the wheel spin, and get a clear winner. The Remove Winner option helps you run clean draws across many rounds. The built in instructions keep new users on track.

What the name generator wheel does

The tool turns a simple list of names into a colorful spinning wheel. Each slice holds one name. You click to spin and the pointer at the top marks the winner. A result panel also shows the selected name with a clear label.

The wheel brings a visual draw to classes, teams, raffles, and workshops. It adds sound for ticks and a short win chime. This creates a quick and clear selection that everyone can follow.

How to use this tool

1. Enter names in the box, one name per line.
2. Check Automatically remove selected names if you want auto removal after each spin.
3. Click Spin the Wheel to start a random draw.
4. Read the winner in the result panel and on the wheel.
5. Click Remove Winner to exclude the last winner from future spins.
6. Click Reset to clear names and start fresh.

Inputs and options explained

Names box

Type or paste your list into the text area. Use one line per name. The tool ignores blank lines and extra spaces. Short names display more clearly on the wheel.

Automatically remove selected names

Turn this on if you want the winner removed after each spin. The tool removes the winner after a short pause. This mode works well for raffles and prize draws.

Spin the Wheel button

Click this to start spinning. The wheel uses random speed and stop time. You hear light tick sounds as slices pass the pointer. Sounds play after your first click.

Remove Winner button

Use this after a spin to take the last winner out of the pool. The name moves to the Removed names list. This keeps future spins fair for the rest of the group.

Reset button

Reset clears the name box, the removed list, and the current result. Use it to start a new session with a clean slate.
