All WheelToss tools
The wheel is the centre of WheelToss, and these are the tools around it. Some are wheels with a different kind of list on them; others answer the same question without a spin, because a spinning wheel is not always the fastest way to a number, a shuffle or a set of teams.
The wheel
Wheel Tools
Wheels that spin on screen but decide the result up front, so the animation can never change the outcome.

When a wheel is the right tool
A wheel is worth the seconds it takes when other people are watching. A draw that happens visibly is a draw people accept: the class can see that every name had a slice, the audience can see the entrant list, and nobody has to trust an invisible calculation.
It is also the friendliest way to make a choice you have been avoiding. Putting six dinner options on a wheel and spinning it is faster than another round of “I do not mind, you choose”.
When a plain picker is faster
If you need thirty random numbers, four balanced teams or a shuffled running order, a wheel is the slow path. The pickers and generators do the same quality of draw — the same cryptographic source, the same unbiased selection — and hand you the whole answer at once, ready to copy, download or print.
Anything that needs a record works better as a picker too: the giveaway tools keep a draw log you can export, which a single spin does not.
What every tool has in common
One entropy source, one selection algorithm, one promise about your data. Whichever tool you open, the result comes from the browser’s Web Crypto API, weighted draws are labelled as weighted with their exact percentages shown, and your list is never uploaded.
When something cannot be done — more unique winners than there are entrants, a seating rule that cannot be satisfied, a range too wide to draw honestly — the tool says so instead of producing a plausible-looking wrong answer.
