What should I eat? Let the wheel decide

"I don't know, what do you want?" can go on for twenty minutes. This wheel ends it in five seconds. It opens with 22 everyday dinners that mix home cooking and takeout: pizza, tacos, curry, mac and cheese, pho, fish and chips and more. Tap Spin and eat what it says. Each dish has a 1 in 22 chance, about 4.5%.

House rules that make it work

  • One veto each. Everyone at the table gets one veto per week. After that, the wheel's word is final.
  • Two-step spin. Not hungry for any of these? Spin once to choose between cooking and ordering, then spin this wheel.
  • Your own menu. Replace the list with the ten meals your family actually cooks. The wheel stays useful longer when every slice is realistic on a Tuesday night.
  • Restaurants. Type the names of places near you instead of dishes, or use the decision wheel for a quick choice between a few options.

Planning a week of dinners

Spin seven times to fill the week. If you press Remove after each spin, no dish can come back, so you get seven different dinners. Here is what that changes for your favorite dish:

Week of 7 spinsChance your favorite dish comes up

Press Remove after each spin31.8%

How it works

  1. Add your entries

    Type names or options in the box, one per line. Your list stays saved in this browser.

  2. Spin the wheel

    Tap the wheel or the Spin button in its center, press Space, or flick the wheel with your finger or mouse.

  3. See the winner

    The wheel slows down and stops on one slice. Spin again, or remove the winner to draw the next one.

Questions

Can I make my favorite dish come up more often?

Yes. Type it twice in the list and it gets two slices out of 23, so its chance almost doubles. Everyone can see the list, so agree on it first.

How do I make a meal plan with the wheel?

Spin seven times and press Remove each time. Write the dishes down in order, then build your shopping list from them.

Can I use it to pick a restaurant?

Yes. Clear the list and type the restaurants or cuisines you are choosing between, one per line. Your list is saved in your browser for next time.

Is this wheel of names free?

Yes. It is free to use, funded by advertising, with no account and no app to install.
