Frequently Asked Questions

What is Wheelzify and how does it work?

Wheelzify is a free online decision-making tool that uses a spinning wheel to randomly select from your custom options. It's perfect for making choices when you're undecided, conducting fair selections, or adding fun to games and activities. Simply add your options, customize the appearance, and spin to get a random result.

Is Wheelzify completely free to use?

Yes! Wheelzify is 100% free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium features. You can use it as many times as you want without any limitations. We believe everyone should have access to fair decision-making tools.

Do I need to create an account or register?

No registration required! You can start using Wheelzify immediately without creating an account, providing email addresses, or sharing personal information. Just visit the site and start spinning.

Is the wheel selection truly random and fair?

Absolutely! Our wheel uses JavaScript's cryptographically secure random number generation combined with realistic physics simulation. Each option has an exactly equal chance of being selected, regardless of position, color, or text length. The results are as fair and random as mathematically possible.

What devices and browsers are supported?

Wheelzify works on all modern devices and browsers including:

• Desktop computers (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• Smartphones (iOS, Android)
• Tablets (iPad, Android tablets)
• All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Do I need an internet connection to use it?

Yes, you need an internet connection to load Wheelzify initially. However, once loaded, the wheel will continue to work even if your connection becomes unstable. The app is optimized for quick loading and minimal data usage.

Can I save my wheel configurations?

Currently, configurations aren't automatically saved between browser sessions. However, you can easily copy your option list and save it in a note app or document for future use. We're considering adding save functionality in future updates.

Are there any limits on usage?

There are no usage limits! You can spin as many times as you want, create unlimited wheels, and use the service as frequently as needed. The only technical limit is a maximum of 20 options per wheel to maintain optimal performance and readability.

How many options can I add to the wheel?

You can add between 2 and 20 options to your wheel. We recommend 4-8 options for the best visual experience and readability. With more options, the wheel segments become smaller, but the functionality remains perfect.

Can I customize the colors of each option?

Yes! Each option can have its own unique color. Click on the colored square next to any option to choose from our curated palette of vibrant, accessible colors. This helps distinguish options and makes your wheel more visually appealing.

What's the character limit for option names?

While there's no strict character limit, we recommend keeping option names concise (ideally under 20 characters) for better readability on the wheel. Longer names will be displayed but may appear smaller or wrap to multiple lines.

Can I adjust the spinning speed and duration?

Absolutely! Choose from four spin durations:

• Quick (4s): Fast decisions
• Standard (8s): Perfect balance
• Long (16s): Build suspense
• Extra Long (32s): Maximum drama
