    About this tool

    Enter any list of options and let the tool pick randomly. Weight options with the :N syntax (e.g. Pizza:3 gives Pizza 3× the odds). Enable elimination mode (wheel-down) to remove each picked item from the pool — like drawing from a hat without replacement. Useful for any choice where you want to work through all options before repeating. Toggle allow-duplicates if you want the same option to be picked multiple times.

    Common uses

    • Running random order for presentations or turns in a game
    • Eliminating options one-by-one until a final choice remains
    • Randomizing a to-do list order
    • Settling arguments with a fair random pick

    Set How many to pick to any number. Each item is picked once (no repeats) unless Allow duplicates is on.
