About the Yes or No Wheel
Can't decide? Think of a yes or no question, press SPIN, and the wheel gives you an answer. Green is Yes, red is No.
The wheel has three Yes slices and three No slices, so the chance is a fair 50/50. Want a third choice? Tap Yes / No / Maybe and the wheel gets amber Maybe slices too.
The answer is picked with your browser's secure random numbers before the wheel starts to turn. The spin is just the show. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
Features

When to use a yes or no wheel
- Small decisions — pizza tonight? Go for a run? Watch one more episode?
- Games and parties — "truth or dare" style questions, a fun answer for a friend's question
- Classrooms — a quick yes or no for a game, or to pick if the class goes outside
- When you are stuck — spin, then notice how you feel about the answer. If you hoped for the other one, now you know what you really want.
Use it for fun and for small choices. For big decisions about health, money or the law, ask a person you trust.

Frequently asked questions
Is the yes or no wheel really random?
Yes. The answer is picked with your browser's secure random number generator (the same kind used for passwords) before the wheel spins. Every slice has the same chance.
Why are there six slices and not two?
Three Yes and three No slices look nicer and spin more like a real wheel. The chance is still exactly 50/50, because there are as many Yes slices as No slices.
Can I add Maybe?
Yes. Tap Yes / No / Maybe. The wheel then has two slices of each, so every answer has a one in three chance.
Can I change the answers?
Yes. Type any answers in the box, one per line — for example "Today", "Tomorrow", "Never". The wheel changes as you type. For a wheel of names, use Spin the Wheel.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no download.
