## About
The Spinner Wheel picks one entry at random from a list you type or paste. Add your own names, tasks or prizes, give an entry a higher weight so it comes up more often, remove each winner automatically for elimination games, and spin. The winner is chosen with your browser’s secure random generator before the wheel animates, so the animation never affects the result. An optional button can suggest entries from a topic using AI.

## How to use
1. Type or paste your entries, one per line. A dinner-ideas list is loaded to start, and you can choose a preset or write your own.
2. To make an entry more likely, add a weight after a bar, for example Pizza | 3. Entries without a weight count as 1.
3. Press Spin the wheel. The wheel turns and stops on the winner, which appears below the wheel and is added to the results list.
4. Tick Remove each winner after it is picked to run an elimination game, such as choosing a presentation order. Use Shuffle entries to reorder, or Copy link to share the list.

## FAQ
**How does the spinner wheel decide the winner?** It picks the winner first using the browser’s secure random number generator, weighted by each entry’s weight, then turns the wheel so the pointer stops on that entry. The spin animation does not influence the outcome.

**Is the spinner wheel really random?** Yes. It uses crypto.getRandomValues, the browser’s cryptographically secure generator, rather than Math.random, and every spin is independent.

**Can I make some entries more likely to win?** Yes. Add a weight after a vertical bar, for example Pizza | 3. An entry with weight 3 is three times as likely to be chosen as an entry with weight 1.

**Can I remove winners automatically?** Yes. Tick the elimination option and each winner is deleted from the list after the spin, which suits picking an order or a sequence of winners.

**Are my entries uploaded?** No. The wheel runs in your browser. Only the optional AI suggestion button sends its topic to our server and an AI service.

**Can I share my wheel?** Yes. Copy link puts your entries in the web address so anyone who opens the link gets the same list.

**Is the Spinner Wheel (Random Picker Wheel) free?** Yes, with no sign-up or limits.
