Yes or No

Use this yes or no generator for a quick random choice: press Ask for Yes or No with an equal chance, with an optional question shown beside the result. Add Maybe for three equal choices, or show the same draw on a two- or three-segment decision wheel. The tally counts every completed answer in this session and shows the current run; the visible log lists the latest ten. A repeated answer is an ordinary random streak. The generator does not read your question or predict what will happen. Your question and answers stay in this tab; no account is needed.

Mode

No current answer. Ask draws one from the browser's cryptographic generator; the question is not read. Nothing asked yet.

Press Space to ask again without reaching for the mouse. The answer is drawn before it flickers or the wheel turns, so nothing on screen changes it. The tally counts every answer of this session; the list shows the latest ten answers. Reset tally cancels a pending draw and clears both. Only the mode and wheel segments are remembered between visits.

For custom labels or repeated tickets, open Spin the Wheel. For a coin, map heads to Yes and tails to No in Coin Flip Simulator. For a d6, map 1–3 to Yes and 4–6 to No in Dice Roller before rolling.

The theatre decides nothing. The answer is drawn from crypto.getRandomValues the moment you press Ask, by rejection sampling rather than a remainder, so every option has exactly the same chance. The flicker is a set of frames built to end on it, and the wheel's landing point is computed from it before the wheel starts to turn. A run of yeses is shown as a run, counted, because that is what fair randomness looks like: in eight fair coin flips, a run of three or more comes up more often than not.
Accuracy. Each answer is one draw from the browser's cryptographic random generator with an equal chance for every option, so yes and no are exactly as likely as each other. The tally counts this session's answers only.

Common questions

Is it really 50/50?
Yes. Each answer is one 32-bit value from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic generator, mapped onto the answer set by rejection sampling rather than a remainder, so no option is favoured by even a fraction. The draw happens the moment you press Ask, before anything moves on screen: the flicker in the plain modes and the turning wheel are both built afterwards from an answer that is already decided, so watching them cannot change it. The question you type is never read by the draw. It is echoed above the answer and kept with it in the log, nothing more.
Why is there a tally under the answer?
The tally counts every completed answer since Reset tally, including answers in modes you have since left. It lists the count for each answer and calls out the current run from two in a row. Runs are ordinary for fair randomness; in eight fair coin flips a run of three or more comes up more often than not. The readable list shows the latest ten answers, while the totals and current streak keep counting every completed answer. Reset tally cancels a pending draw and clears the counts and log. Closing the page clears the session too.
What does Maybe do to the odds?
It makes three options with a third each: yes, no and maybe are drawn from the same generator with the same rejection sampling, so none of the three is favoured. That also means yes drops from a half to a third, which is worth knowing if you are treating the answer as a nudge. The tally lists maybe even while it is at zero, so the odds you are playing with are always on screen.
Can I use it as a yes or no wheel?
Yes. Choose Wheel and the same draw is shown as a wheel with a fixed pointer at the top. It has two segments by default and three with Maybe on, it makes at least five full turns before settling, and the segment it stops on is the answer that was already drawn when you pressed Ask. The pointer is kept away from the lines between segments so a result never has to be argued over. If your system asks for reduced motion the wheel jumps straight to its final position instead of turning.
Does it remember my question?
Your optional question, up to 200 characters, is echoed above its answer and appears in the recent log. The question and all answers are held only in this tab and disappear when the page closes. No question or answer is uploaded or saved between visits. Only an explicitly chosen mode and wheel-segment setting are remembered in browser storage; if storage is unavailable, the draw still works.
Can I ask again without the mouse?
Press Space while focus is outside the question field, buttons and links. The Ask button also works with its normal keyboard controls. Each draw has the same odds; a No after three Yes answers is no more likely than a fourth Yes. Reset, changing mode or wheel segments, and editing the question cancel a pending animation before it can add an answer.
Is a yes or no generator the same as a prediction or oracle reading?
This generator makes a random choice. It does not interpret your question, check facts, supply reasons, read cards or predict another person’s response. Yes and No each have a half chance, or Yes, No and Maybe each have a third chance. The word oracle sometimes describes a random toy, but tarot, astrology, pendulum and psychic readings are different workflows this page does not provide.
Can I use custom labels, a coin or dice instead?
This tool has fixed Yes, No and optional Maybe labels. Spin the Wheel accepts your own labels, including repeated tickets, for a custom choice. For a visual coin toss, use Coin Flip Simulator and decide beforehand that heads means Yes and tails means No. For a die, use Dice Roller with a d6 and map 1–3 to Yes and 4–6 to No before rolling. These alternatives do not predict facts or outcomes either.
