Tips and common mistakes

  • Make sure each option appears only once unless you want it to have a higher chance of being picked.
  • Use clear, short labels so the result is easy to read.
  • If you want a fair random pick, include all valid choices before spinning.
  • Remember that this tool picks one option at random, so each spin can give a different result.
