Frequently asked questions

Is the Writing Prompts Wheel fair?
Yes. Each of the 16 options has exactly the same chance, 6.25%. The winner is chosen by your browser's secure random number generator before the wheel starts to move.
Can I change the options?
Yes. Edit the list next to the wheel: one option per line. Your changes are saved on this device, and Reset brings back the original list.
Can the same option win twice?
Yes, unless you turn on "Remove winner after each spin". With it on, each winner leaves the wheel, so you work through every option without repeats.
