How the yes or no wheel works
Type your question (or just think it), then tap Spin the wheel. The yes or no wheel spins for a few seconds and slows to a stop under the pointer. Want the answer right away? Tap Instant answer instead. You can also click the wheel itself, or focus it and press Enter or Space.
Behind the scenes this yes or no generator draws the answer with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so the result can’t be predicted or nudged. The wheel then lands on a matching slice, never on a border, so there’s no arguing about which side it stopped on.
When to use a yes or no generator
- Small decisions you keep going back and forth on: takeout or cook, gym today or tomorrow, watch one more episode.
- Settling friendly debates: who picks the movie, who goes first, which plan wins.
- Games and classrooms: a yes no wheel is a quick, visible way to make calls everyone trusts, projected on a screen or passed around on a phone.
- Breaking a tie in your own head: a trick many people like is to notice how you feel when the answer appears. A flash of relief or disappointment often tells you what you really wanted.
Yes, No, or Maybe
Turn on Add Maybe to get three equal outcomes. It’s handy when “not now” is a real option, or when you want a softer answer than a flat no. Your recent answers and a running tally appear under the wheel so you can see streaks happen naturally. A run of five Yeses in a row is normal for true randomness, it doesn’t mean the wheel is stuck.
A note on big decisions
A random yes or no is perfect for low-stakes choices and fun. For decisions about health, money or safety, use it as a conversation starter at most, not as the decider.
Frequently asked questions
Is the yes or no generator really random?
Yes. Each answer is picked with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source used for security keys. Yes and No each have exactly a 50% chance, or one third each when Maybe is on. Past answers don’t affect the next one.
Does the wheel’s landing spot decide the answer?
The answer is drawn first, then the wheel is animated to stop on a slice with that answer, so the spin you see always matches the result and the odds stay exactly equal.
What is the difference between the wheel and the instant answer?
Only speed. Both use the same fair random draw. The wheel adds a few seconds of suspense; the instant button answers right away.
Can I add a Maybe option?
Yes. Turn on “Add Maybe” and the wheel splits into equal Yes, No and Maybe slices.
Is my question saved or sent anywhere?
No. The question box is just for you. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device.
