Going round in circles over a small choice? Ask your question, spin the wheel, and let it answer yes or no. It is a light-hearted way to stop overthinking and get on with your day.
How to use the yes or no wheel
- Think of a question with a yes or no answer.
- Press Spin in the middle of the wheel and wait for it to stop.
- Read the answer in the pop-up, then spin again if you want to.
- Edit the entries to add options such as Maybe, or press Reset to go back to yes and no.
Who uses the Yes or No Wheel
Everyday choices
Should you order dessert? Is today the day to clean the garage? These choices barely matter, yet they can eat up time. A spin gives you an answer in seconds, so you can get on with something else.
Games and parties
Use the wheel for silly questions at a party or on a family video call. It adds a little suspense, and a large screen lets everyone watch and join in as the wheel slows down.
Classroom activities
Teachers can use a quick spin to decide small things, such as whether the class reads aloud or in pairs. It also makes a simple way to start talking about chance and fairness.
Daily challenges
Some people use a yes or no spin to add a small surprise to a routine, such as whether to take the long way home tonight or try the new recipe.
Getting more from a yes or no answer
A yes or no wheel works best for small choices, where both answers are fine and you are simply stuck. Should you take the bus or walk? Is tonight a good night for a film? Let the wheel decide and move on.
Add a maybe
The entries box is yours to edit. Add a line that says Maybe, or Ask again later, and the wheel gains a new slice. To lean the odds, add Yes twice and No once, which gives Yes a two in three chance.
When to skip the wheel
- Do not leave medical, legal or money decisions to chance. Talk to someone qualified.
- Do not use it to decide something that affects another person without asking them.
- If one answer would really upset you, you may already know what you want.
Yes or No Wheel questions
Is the answer really random?
Yes. With the starting list, yes and no have the same chance. The answer comes from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and the wheel then spins to land on it.
Can the wheel see the future or give real advice?
No. It knows nothing about you or your question, and every answer is pure chance. Please treat it as a bit of fun and a way to break a tie.
Can I add Maybe?
Yes. Type it on a new line in the entries box, and the wheel adds a slice for it. Each line has an equal chance, so a third option makes each answer a one in three chance.
How do I get back to just yes and no?
Press Reset above the entries box. It asks you to confirm, then puts back the original list. Your changes are otherwise saved in this browser for next time.
Can I share this wheel?
Yes. Copy share link makes a link to your version of the wheel. Your entries are written into that link, so anyone you send it to can read them.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The wheel runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no app and no account. Press Full screen to make it easier for a group to see.
