Chore Chooser Wheel
Make chores fair and fun. Spin across 8 tasks, from dishes to laundry, plus a free pass slice, to decide who does what.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-8 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 8 entries on the wheel.
The entries travel in the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Nobody, including us, can read a shared wheel from a log.
Please keep the attribution link on the last line. It is the only thing we ask in return, and it is what pays for the wheel being free.

About the Chore Chooser Wheel
This wheel comes pre filled and ready to spin. Give it a whirl as is, or edit the entries in the box to make it your own. Every slice has equal odds, so the result is fair each and every time. When the wheel stops, the pointer at the top marks the winning slice.
Nothing you spin is uploaded anywhere. The Chore Chooser Wheel runs entirely in your browser, and you can save your edits to your own device. When you want your visitors to spin the same wheel, copy the embed code under the wheel and drop it onto your page.
Chore arguments are rarely about the chore, they are about fairness, and a spinning wheel is visibly fair. Put the week's jobs on the wheel, gather the household, and let each person spin in turn to collect their task. Because everyone watches the pointer land, there is no suspicion that someone rigged the rota, and the free pass slice adds just enough jackpot energy to make people actually want their turn. Roommates use it for the weekly reset, families use it after dinner, and shared offices use it for kitchen duty. To divide all the chores at once, remove each assigned task from the list before the next person spins so nothing comes up twice. Tune the list to your home by editing the entries, add the jobs everyone dodges, and save the wheel so the same fair draw is ready every week.
The odds on this wheel
There are 8 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 8 = 12.5%. Every spin is independent of the one before it, which means no result is ever due: after ten spins without a particular slice, the chance on the eleventh is still 12.5%.
Across several spins the maths follows the complement rule. The chance of a given slice coming up at least oncein ten spins is 1 − (1 − 1/8)10 = 73.7%. Edit the entry list and every figure here recomputes, because they are derived from the wheel rather than written down beside it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the "Free pass" slice on the Chore Chooser Wheel for?
The Free pass slice lets whoever lands on it skip chores for that round, which keeps the game feeling fair and a little more fun. With eight slices in total, there is a 1 in 8 chance of hitting it on any spin.
How do we use this wheel to split housework between roommates or family?
Have each person spin in turn, and whichever task comes up belongs to them; then remove that slice or spin again for the next person. You can rewrite the list in the box below to match the exact jobs in your own home.
Can I add or remove chores like "Windows" or "Mopping"?
Yes, the eight tasks are only a starting point, so type any chore into the entry box and the wheel redraws right away. Everything runs in your browser, so your custom chore list never leaves your device.
