Dice Roll

Roll one to six

Lost the dice down the back of the sofa again? Roll a digital one instead. Tap and you get a fair number from one to six, drawn from your browser's random number generator so every face is equally likely; tap again for the next roll. It works on any phone, needs no app, and is always in your pocket — which quietly ends a lot of "where did the dice go?" searches mid-game.

More than just board games

A single die is a surprisingly versatile little decision-maker. Obviously it keeps games night moving when a physical die has gone missing, but you can also assign your own meaning to each face — 1 = pizza, 2 = pasta, 3 = tacos, and so on — to turn a roll into a quick six-way picker. Teachers use it for classroom games and to pick a random group or question; parents use it to settle "how many more minutes" without a negotiation. Need bigger numbers? Roll several times and add the results, or roll twice to make a number from 1 to 36. Playing a tabletop game that needs two dice? Just tap twice and total them.

Want a custom range instead of 1–6 — say 1 to 100, or 1 to 20 for tabletop rolls? Use the Random Number Generator. Picking from words rather than numbers? Spin the Wheel instead.

The odds of every two-dice roll

A single die is flat — each face has the same 1-in-6 (16.7%) chance. But roll two dice and add them, and the totals are anything but equal: there's only one way to make a 2 (1+1) but six ways to make a 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4 and their mirrors). That's why 7 is the most common roll and why so many board and dice games pivot on it. Here's the exact chance of each total on 2d6 (36 equally likely combinations):

• 2 or 12 — 1 in 36 (2.8%) each, the rarest
• 3 or 11 — 2 in 36 (5.6%) each
• 4 or 10 — 3 in 36 (8.3%) each
• 5 or 9 — 4 in 36 (11.1%) each
• 6 or 8 — 5 in 36 (13.9%) each
• 7 — 6 in 36 (16.7%), the most likely total

Notice the symmetry: the odds rise evenly to a peak at 7 and fall away to the extremes, forming a neat triangle. A handy rule of thumb — a total of 6, 7, or 8 comes up almost 45% of the time, while 2 or 12 together appear only about 1 roll in 18. Every roll here is independent, so a streak of sevens is luck, not a loaded die.

Frequently asked questions

What numbers can it roll?
One to six, fairly and at random, just like a physical die. Tap again for the next roll.

Can I roll bigger numbers?
Roll a few times and add them up, or assign your own meaning to each face for a custom game.

Can I roll two dice at once?
Tap twice and add the results for a 2–12 total. For a custom range like 1–20, use the Random Number Generator instead.
