Embed a spinning wheel on your website
Put a working WheelOurNames spinner directly on your own page. Add your entries below, choose a few options, and copy the embed code. As of the time of writing it works on ordinary HTML pages, WordPress, Google Sites, Canvas and Moodle — although third-party platforms change their interfaces and the HTML they allow over time, which WheelOurNames does not control. No account, no sign-up, and no ads inside the embedded wheel.

The configuration is stored in the link's # fragment, so it is not sent to our servers — but it is not encrypted either. Anyone who can view the page it is published on can decode the names. Don't publish private student, employee, customer or entrant information in public embed code.
Live preview
The preview runs the same sandboxed iframe your visitors will get.

The steps below reflect each platform's interface as of the time this page was written. Third-party editors, option names and allowed HTML change over time, and those changes are outside WheelOurNames' control — if a step differs in your account, look for the closest equivalent option.
- Any HTML page: paste the code where you want the wheel to appear.
- WordPress: add a “Custom HTML” block and paste the code into it. Some WordPress.com plans and security plugins filter iframes; if the block is stripped on save, your plan or a plugin is likely removing it.
- Google Sites: Insert → Embed → “Embed code”. Google Sites ignores responsive wrappers, so switch on the fixed-height option first. Google Sites also renders third-party embeds inside its own sandbox, which can change without notice.
- Canvas / Moodle: use the HTML editor. Some LMS editors strip attributes such as
sandboxor inline styles; if the wheel looks wrong, re-paste with the fixed-height option. Your institution's LMS configuration may disallow iframes entirely.
What the embed does and doesn't do
- Uses the same wheel and the same browser crypto randomness as the main site.
- Doesn't set or require cookies, localStorage or sessionStorage, doesn't load advertising or analytics, and never asks your visitors to sign in.
- Runs in a sandboxed iframe with no access to the page it sits on.
- Shows a small “Powered by WheelOurNames” link. Please keep it — it's the only thing we ask in return.
Privacy of the entries you embed
Newly generated embed codes carry the configuration in the URL fragment (the part after # ), which browsers do not include in HTTP requests — so those entries are not sent to, or logged by, WheelOurNames. Older embed codes that used a ?w= query link still work, but their configuration is part of the request and may appear in request, CDN or server logs on the initial load.
Either way, the encoding is not encryption. Anyone who can inspect the page you publish, or the iframe URL, can decode the list. Don't publish private student, employee, customer or entrant information in public embed code — use the wheel on this site instead for anything sensitive.
