Why it works
Let Fate Decide turns a plain list into a clear visual picker. Add names, meals, chores, prizes, tasks, or ideas, then spin once and use the result without accounts, downloads, or setup.
Use it for classroom participation, giveaway winners, household rotations, dinner decisions, team order, or quick everyday choices. The Results tab keeps recent picks visible when you need a lightweight record.
How to use the wheel
Use one option per line and only include results you are willing to accept. A dinner wheel should include meals you can actually order or cook tonight. A classroom wheel should include eligible students or tasks for the current activity.
Use Pick One when you need a single result. Use Pick Two when you need partners, matchups, dinner combinations, chore pairs, or two topics from the same list.
For equal odds, list each option once and keep the probability sliders even. If one result should be more likely, use the Probabilities tab and make that weighting intentional.
The Results tab can track recent spins in the current browser session. Use it when you need a lightweight record for a classroom activity, giveaway test, chore rotation, or meeting order.
Fairness and privacy
A random wheel is fair only when the input list is fair. If every entry appears once, each entry has the same chance. If names are repeated or probability sliders are changed, some entries become more likely. That can be useful for bonus giveaway entries, weighted choices, or priority tasks, but it should be clear before the spin.
Let Fate Decide processes wheel options in the browser and does not require an account. Saved presets stay in the current browser. For classroom, workplace, or public event use, avoid adding sensitive details when initials, labels, or nicknames are enough.
