The yes or no wheel has two slices and one job: give you an answer when you can't pick one yourself. Each slice has the same chance. The result is chosen with your browser's crypto random generator before the wheel starts moving, so the animation is just for show and nobody can time a click to win.
Use it for small calls that don't deserve a long debate. Should I order dessert? Do we go out tonight? Is it worth replying to that email now? It also works as a tie-breaker when two friends disagree and both are fine with either outcome. For anything serious, treat the spin as a nudge, not a ruling.
How to use the yes or no wheel
Say your question out loud or type it somewhere first. A clear question gives you a clear answer.
- Phrase the question so Yes and No both make sense.
- Press Spin and wait for the pointer to stop.
- Check the results history if you want best of three.
- Use full-screen when you spin for a group on a TV or projector.
The gut-check trick
A coin toss tells you something even when you ignore it. The same goes for this wheel. Watch how you feel the moment it lands. If you feel relief, that was your answer. If you catch yourself wanting to spin again, you already knew you wanted the other one.
Many people use the wheel this way on purpose. They don't follow the spin at all. They just want that half-second reaction to show them what they were leaning toward.
Ways to change the odds
Every entry has an equal chance, so you change the odds by changing the list. Add a second Yes to make Yes twice as likely. Add Ask again later for a softer wheel. Classrooms sometimes use True and False instead, which works the same way for quick quiz checks.
Frequently asked questions
Is the yes or no wheel really 50/50?
Yes. With two entries each one has the same chance. The pick is made with a cryptographic random number before the spin animation begins, so the speed or angle of the wheel does not affect the result.
Can I make Yes come up more often?
Add Yes to the entry box a second or third time. Two Yes lines and one No line gives Yes about a two in three chance. There are no hidden weights, so what you see in the list is what you get.
Should I trust the wheel for big decisions?
Use it to break a tie or to check your gut, not to replace thinking. For a job offer or a move, write down the pros and cons first. Then the spin can show you which way you secretly hope it goes.
Can I send this wheel to a friend?
Use the share button to copy a link. The entries travel inside the URL, so your friend sees the same wheel without signing up. Nothing is uploaded to a server along the way.
