Discover expert tips, best practices, and advanced techniques to get the most out of your spinning wheel experience. From design tips to group activities, we've got you covered.
Follow these key principles for the best wheel spinning experience
4-8 segments provide the best balance of options and visibility
Use descriptive but concise names that everyone can understand
Announce the rules before spinning to ensure everyone understands
Let participants add their own suggestions to increase involvement
Begin with 4-6 segments for the best visual balance and readability.
Segment names longer than 15 characters may be truncated on the wheel.
Spin a few times to make sure all segments are clearly visible and readable.
Each segment gets a unique color automatically - no need to worry about color selection.
White text with shadow is used for maximum contrast against all background colors.
The wheel automatically scales for mobile devices, but keep segment names extra short on phones.
Our algorithm uses JavaScript's Math.random() with additional entropy for truly random results.
Every segment has exactly the same chance of being selected, regardless of text length or position.
Results cannot be influenced or predicted - each spin is completely independent.
Perfect for virtual meetings - share your screen so everyone can see the wheel spin.
Count down '3, 2, 1' before spinning to build excitement in group settings.
For eliminations, remove the selected segment and spin again for the next round.
Add the same option multiple times to increase its chances of being selected.
Use similar colors or prefixes to group related options visually.
Use the reset button to return the wheel to its starting position for a fresh look.
Make sure you have at least 2 segments before spinning. Check that segments aren't empty.
If segment text is hard to read, try shortening the names or using fewer segments.
On mobile, make sure to tap the spin button directly. Avoid scrolling while the wheel is spinning.
Advanced techniques to maximize your wheel spinning potential
For the best mobile experience, hold your device in landscape mode when using the wheel with many segments. This provides more space for text visibility and easier interaction.
A: Yes! We use advanced randomization algorithms that ensure each segment has an equal probability of being selected, regardless of its position or content.
A: Currently, wheels are session-based. We recommend bookmarking the page and manually recreating your favorite wheels when needed.
A: You can add up to 20 segments. Beyond this number, text becomes difficult to read and the wheel becomes less practical.
A: The wheel requires an internet connection to load initially, but once loaded, it can function without connectivity for basic spinning operations.
