How does the number wheel pick numbers?

The wheel uses a cryptographically secure random source when available (Web Crypto), with animation for user feedback. You can enable no-repeat to avoid duplicates.

Can I avoid repeating numbers?

Yes. Toggle the no-repeat option to ensure every number in the range is drawn once until you reset the wheel.

What ranges are supported?

You can enter any integer min/max range (default 1–100). Presets for 1–100 and 1–1000 are provided for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the random selection fair?

Yes. We use Web Crypto for randomness when available. Without it, standard Math.random is used.

What happens when all numbers are drawn in no-repeat mode?

The wheel stops drawing new numbers and you can reset the wheel to start over.

Can I pick multiple numbers at once?

This MVP draws one number per spin. For multiple numbers, spin repeatedly or export history.

Can I include negative numbers?

Yes. Enter any integer range between -1,000,000 and 1,000,000.

Is there sound?

Not yet. We plan to add optional sound effects in a future update.

Can I pick from a custom list (names/items)?

For now this wheel draws numbers. To pick from a list, assign each item a number and map the result. We plan a dedicated list picker in a future update.

How do I reset the no-repeat pool?

Click Reset to clear history and restore the full range. No-repeat will then draw each number once until the pool is exhausted.
