How to use the Month Wheel
The Month Wheel picks a random month of the year. Here's how to narrow it down and add your own notes.
Quick start
- The wheel holds all twelve months.
- Spin to land on one month.
- Use it for a trip, a theme or a game.
- Remove months to narrow it down, like the summer months only.
Twelve months, equal chances
January to December, one slice each, so every month has a one-in-twelve chance.
Narrow it down
Remove the months you don't want, for example everything except June, July and August for a summer trip, and spin between the rest.
Add a note to a month
Click a month in the list to edit it and add what it's for, like July (beach trip). The note shows on the wheel and in the result.
Great for
