Yes or no wheel

1. Think of a yes-or-no question.
2. Press SPIN. The wheel lands on Yes or No.
3. Spin again as often as you like — both answers stay on the wheel.
4. Want a Maybe? Choose Yes / No / Maybe. For a coin toss, choose Heads / Tails. Press Start fresh to go back to plain Yes and No.

With only Yes and No on the wheel, each answer has a 1 in 2 (50%) chance on every spin. Spins don't affect the next odds—a long streak of Yes answers is unlikely but normal with real randomness.

It's free, there's no account, and the answers you set up are saved in your browser.

Tap Heads / Tails and press SPIN for the same 50/50 spin with different labels—useful for who goes first, who picks the movie, or a shared result on a video call. Call your side before you spin, or run best of three. For two custom options, type them in place of Heads and Tails under Your choices.

A quick spin works best for small choices where either answer is fine: whether to order dessert, go for a run now or later, or take the scenic route. It's also a neutral way to break a tie between two people, because nobody controls the outcome. For health, money, legal matters or anything hard to undo, take your time and get advice from someone qualified instead.

• Kids' choices. "Bath before or after the story?" Let the child press SPIN, so the answer belongs to the wheel and not to you.
• Tabletop games. A game master can let the wheel answer "does the shopkeeper know anything?" when the rules are silent.
• Who goes first on a video call. Tap Heads / Tails, share your screen, spin once.

Tap Yes / No / Maybe to add a third slice (one-in-three odds each). Decide what Maybe means before you spin—for example "ask again tomorrow" or "spin Yes / No once more". For actions instead of answers, try Quick decide (do it, wait, ask someone, or skip). Edit any slice under Your choices, and press Start fresh to return to plain Yes and No.

Every slice is the same size, so each answer has the same chance on every spin. Spins are independent. After three Nos in a row, the next spin is still 50/50. Over 10 spins you won't always get exactly 5 Yes and 5 No, because short runs are normal. Use the counter under the wheel to see your own split.

Keep it to one decision with a clear Yes and No. "Should I go to the gym tonight?" works; three options at once belong on the multi-option wheel. Put Yes on the action, add a time window if it helps, and only spin when you'll accept either answer. In a group, say out loud what Yes and No mean before anyone presses SPIN.

Ask the class to predict how many Yeses you'll get in 20 spins. Most will say 10. Spin 20 times and use the counter under the wheel to keep the tally.

Then show the math. The chance of getting exactly 10 Yeses in 20 fair spins is about 17.6% (there are 184,756 ways to choose which 10 spins are Yes, out of 1,048,576 possible sequences). So getting exactly 10 is actually unlikely. Results like 8, 9, 11 or 12 are just as normal.

Follow up with streaks. The chance of five No answers in a row is 1 in 32, about 3.1%. Over a class's worth of spins, a streak like that will turn up now and then, and it doesn't mean the wheel is broken.

• Say what Yes means out loud before a group spin, so nobody reinterprets it afterwards.
• Make Yes the change when you're stuck between doing something new and staying put.
• Decide on one spin or best of three before you start. Switching after a bad result is how arguments begin.
• Keep it to small, reversible choices. Which film tonight, who serves first, tacos or curry: fine. Whether to take the job offer: not a wheel question.

For open lists use the multi-option decision wheel; for a person, the random name picker; for rewards, the prize wheel. Or see which tool should I use on the homepage.
