BeanNest Wheel
Choose a character set, then spin a single character. Presets cover the alphabet, vowels, digits, and coin sides, and you can enter your own symbols. Each segment is exactly one character so the wheel stays readable.
Selected character
A letter wheel is read at a glance, so every segment holds a single character. Pasting a word does not create one segment containing the word; the adapter splits it into characters and collapses repeats, which is what makes the alphabet preset produce twenty-six segments rather than one.
A letter wheel is useful when a round needs a starting letter, a random vowel, or a coin side. Because the result is a single character and draws are not remembered between spins, the same letter can come up twice in a row, which is expected behaviour for an unbiased draw.
Any characters you enter become segments, including digits and punctuation. Duplicates are collapsed so the same symbol cannot occupy two segments and silently double its chance.
For whole words or names, use the Wheel of Names. For numbers, use the Number Wheel. See random letter wheel ideas for word games for classroom and game prompts.
Working notes
Start with the A–Z set, or switch to vowels, consonants, digits, or a custom character set.
Check that each segment is one character; the wheel is designed for short symbols.
Spin and read the selected letter or symbol.
Use the history for a word-game round or a classroom prompt.
Each segment is a single character, so a multi-character word belongs on the Wheel of Names. Custom sets are bounded by the same wheel-entry limit. Letter order and duplicate characters are shown as separate entries unless you remove them.
The character set and results stay in this tab and are not uploaded.
The letter wheel is designed for one character per segment. Use the Wheel of Names for word fragments such as digraphs.
Yes. Use remove winner after a draw so the next spin uses the shortened set.
