Yes or no wheel
Type your question, spin the wheel, get an answer. Even odds by default — or tilt it one way and let everyone see you did.
Click SPIN or press Space to spin
Press SPIN or the Space bar for your answer.
Odds
Yes 50% · No 50% — the slices show the odds, so nobody has to take your word for it.
Spin the wheel for a yes or no answer
Two options, even odds, one spin. A yes or no wheel settles the small decisions that do not deserve another ten minutes of thought — and because the answer comes from outside your own head, it tends to end the debate rather than extend it.
Ask your question. Type it above the wheel so the answer has something to attach to. This stays in your browser.
Set the odds. Leave it at 50/50, or tilt it toward yes or no. Add a maybe slice if neither extreme fits.
Spin. Press SPIN or the Space bar. The wheel slows down and lands on your answer.
Notice your reaction. Before you act on it, note whether you felt relief or disappointment. That is usually the real answer.
The trick that makes it actually useful
There is an old piece of advice that works better than it should: spin, and before you look, notice which answer you are hoping for. Half the time the spin is not the decision at all — it is the thing that finally tells you what you wanted. If it lands on no and you feel relief, you have your answer regardless of where the pointer stopped.
The same logic explains the spin tally on this page. If you keep spinning until you get the result you liked, that is not the wheel failing — that is you deciding, slowly.
When a wheel beats a coin
For a straight 50/50 call, a wheel and a coin are mathematically the same. The wheel earns its place when other people are watching: everyone sees the two slices, everyone sees it spin, and nobody has to trust that you called it honestly. That matters in a classroom, on a stream, or across a table of friends who argue for sport.
It also handles things a coin cannot. Tilt the odds to two-to-one and the extra slice is right there to be counted. Add a maybe and you have three outcomes. Rename the slices to the real choice — “call them” and “leave it”, “ship it” and “one more review” — and the answer gets harder to ignore.
- Settling a group
- Visible odds mean nobody can claim the decision was rigged.
- Breaking a loop
- For choices where either answer is fine and the cost is the deliberating.
- Classrooms and streams
- Big, readable and obviously fair to a room full of people.
- Games
- A quick random gate for dares, forfeits and party games.
What a wheel cannot do
People arrive at pages like this asking whether they are pregnant, whether someone loves them, whether a result will go their way. A wheel cannot answer any of those. It produces a random number and paints it on a slice; it knows nothing about you and nothing about the future. If a question is big enough that you came looking for a sign, it is too big for a wheel — take a test, ask the person, or talk to someone who can actually help.
Want more than two options? Use the spinner wheel. Prefer a coin? Try flip a coin. For picking a person, there is the random name picker, and for numbers the random number generator. More on how the randomness works in is a wheel of names rigged?
Yes or no wheel questions
How does the yes or no wheel work?
Type your question, press SPIN or the Space bar, and the wheel lands on an answer. By default the wheel is an even split, so yes and no each have a 50% chance. You can weight it toward one side or add a maybe slice.
Is the yes or no wheel random?
Yes. Every spin asks your browser’s cryptographic random number generator for a number, with rejection sampling so no result is favoured. Earlier spins have no effect on later ones — the wheel has no memory and is not due a yes.
Can I make yes more likely than no?
Yes. Choose “Favour yes” or “Favour no” and the wheel adds a second slice for that answer, making it two to one. The odds are shown as slices rather than hidden settings, so anyone watching can count them.
What is the difference between this and a coin flip?
For an even split, nothing mathematically. The wheel is better when other people are watching — everyone sees the slices and sees it spin — and it can be reweighted or given a third option, which a coin cannot.
Can I add a maybe?
Yes, tick “Add a maybe slice” and you get three outcomes. Useful when neither a hard yes nor a hard no fits the question.
Can the wheel answer a question about my health?
No, and please do not use it that way. A wheel produces a random result; it knows nothing about you and cannot tell you whether you are pregnant, ill, or anything else. For a question that actually matters, use a test or talk to a doctor.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The wheel sizes itself to the screen and works offline once the page has loaded. There is no app to install and no account to create.
