Is the yes or no wheel random?

Yes. With exactly two entries each slice covers half the wheel, and the pick runs on crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's cryptographically secure random function, not the everyday Math.random(). Every spin is drawn fresh from the operating system's randomness pool, so it behaves like an independent coin flip with no memory of previous spins. A true 50/50.

Can I weight yes vs no?

Yes. Add a weight with the Name*N syntax — for example 'Yes*2' and 'No' gives 2-to-1 odds toward Yes. Useful when you want a nudge in one direction rather than a perfectly even coin flip. You can also turn on Fair Mode so a side that just came up is slightly less likely next spin.

Can I add more than two options?

Yes. The yes or no wheel scales to any number of entries. Add 'Maybe' for a three-way, or build a four-way decision — equal slices mean equal odds unless you weight them. Edit the labels to match your actual question (Stay / Go / Sleep on it).

Is a yes or no wheel the same as a coin flip?

Mathematically, a two-option wheel is identical to a fair coin flip. The wheel just makes it visual, lets you label the sides to match your decision, and adds a spin animation for a bit of suspense before the reveal.

Do I need an account or app?

No. The yes or no wheel runs entirely in your browser — no signup, no install, no cost. Your wheel stays on your device, and you can bookmark the link to reopen the same setup later.

Yes or No Wheel — Spin for a Random Answer

A yes or no wheel is a two-slice spinner that gives you a fair, random yes or no to whatever you're stuck on. Tap spin and the pointer lands on Yes or No with equal odds — a clear, instant answer when you keep flip-flopping. Rename the slices, add more options, or weight one side; it's your wheel.

For anyone stuck on a small back-and-forth decision — a quick gut-check, a tie-break with a friend, or a fun classroom or party yes/no call.

Common uses

Daily 'should I?' decisions. Should I go for a run? Order takeout? Send the email? Spin the yes or no wheel and break the tie in three seconds.
Couples' tiebreakers. Movie A or movie B, eat in or eat out — relabel the two slices and let the wheel settle it without another round of 'I don't mind, you pick.'
Classroom yes/no calls. Teachers use it for true/false warm-ups, 'do we get a brain break?', or letting the class vote a fun decision to chance. Big and clear on the projector.
Party games & dares. Truth or not, dare or pass, double-or-nothing — a yes or no wheel adds fair stakes to any party game so nobody's accused of choosing.
Settle a group 50/50. When a small group is evenly split and tired of debating, spin once and make it binding. Fast, neutral, and visible to everyone.
Gut-check / preference reveal. Don't commit to the result yet — notice your reaction the moment it lands. Relieved? Go with it. Disappointed? You had a preference all along.

How does the Yes or No Wheel work?

The wheel has two equal slices — Yes and No — each covering exactly half the circle. When you spin, the winning slice is chosen first by crypto.getRandomValues(), a cryptographically secure random number generator, and the wheel simply animates to land on it. Because the slices are equal and the source is unbiased, every spin is a genuine 50/50, with no pattern or memory between spins.

It's the same maths as a coin flip, but visual and customizable: you can rename the two sides to match the real question, add a third or fourth option, or weight one side so it comes up more often. The answer appears the instant the wheel stops.

When a yes/no wheel helps — and when it doesn't

A yes or no wheel is at its best for genuinely tied, low-stakes choices: the cost of choosing wrong is small, and the cost of dithering is real. Should I take the walk? Do we order in? Which of two equal options? Outsourcing those to the wheel converts back-and-forth into action and saves your decision-making energy for choices that matter.

It's the wrong tool when one option is clearly better, or the stakes are high and asymmetric — a job offer, a medical choice, a big purchase. Spinning there is decision-avoidance dressed up as decisiveness. A useful rule of thumb: if you'd be upset by the wheel's answer, it wasn't really a tie, so go with the option you'd rather see.

Tips for getting more from the wheel

Use the gut-check trick: spin, but don't commit yet. The moment the wheel lands, notice your reaction — relief means it picked what you secretly wanted, disappointment means you had a preference all along. Either way you've learned something in three seconds.

Weight the sides when you want a nudge instead of a true flip ('Yes*2'), relabel the slices to your exact question so the result reads naturally, and for recurring decisions save the wheel and bookmark the link so it's one tap away next time.
