How to Use the US State Picker
Step-by-step instructions to get the best results
Start with All 50 States or Narrow Your Region
The wheel loads with all 50 US states pre-populated. To restrict to a specific region — e.g., only Pacific Coast states or only New England — go to the entries panel and disable states outside your desired area by clicking their toggle.
Spin the State Wheel
Click SPIN to send the 50-segment state wheel into motion. The wheel decelerates with smooth physics before the pointer lands on a single US state at random.
Explore Your Selected State
The winning state is announced in the celebration modal. Look up its capital, landmarks, and state facts — use it as inspiration for your road trip, research paper, or trivia challenge.
Remove Visited States to Track Your Bucket List
Enable "Remove Winner After Spin" in Settings to eliminate each selected state. This turns the wheel into an interactive 50-state travel bucket list tracker — spin until every state has been visited.

Frequently Asked Questions About US State Picker
Does the US State Picker include all 50 states?
Yes. All 50 US states are pre-loaded in alphabetical order from Alabama to Wyoming. You can also manually add US territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, Washington D.C.) as custom entries using the entries panel.
Can I eliminate states I've already visited to track my travel bucket list?
Yes. Enable "Remove Winner After Spin" in the Settings panel. Each time you spin and visit a state, that state is removed from future spins — giving you a progressively narrowing bucket list wheel until all 50 states are claimed.
Can I filter the wheel to only spin specific US regions?
Yes. Open the entries panel and use the toggle next to each state to enable or disable it. You can create a custom regional wheel — for example, only Southern states or only Rocky Mountain states — before spinning.
What if I want to pick from US territories in addition to states?
Simply add Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Washington D.C. as custom entries using the "Add Entry" button in the entries panel. The wheel treats all entries equally.
Can students use this for a virtual classroom activity?
Absolutely. Share your screen while spinning to select which state each student or group will research. The visual animation makes the assignment reveal more exciting than a teacher simply calling names — and students perceive it as fair.
