Yes or No Wheel
Spin this yes or no decision wheel for a fair random answer. Press Ask with an optional question: two equal segments give Yes and No a half chance each. Switch the segments to Yes / No / Maybe for three choices with a third chance each. The answer is drawn before the wheel moves, and the animation only reveals it. Every completed spin joins the full session tally; the list shows the latest ten. The wheel does not interpret the question or predict its answer. No account is needed.
- Mode
- Segments
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.
Common questions
- Is the wheel fair?
- Yes. The answer is one value from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic generator, mapped onto the segments by rejection sampling rather than a remainder, so yes and no are exactly as likely as each other. The draw is made the moment you press Ask, and the wheel's final position is then worked out so the pointer stops inside the winning segment. The spin is a way of showing a result, not a way of choosing one, and how long you watch it cannot change it.
- Why does it never stop on a line?
- The stopping point is kept at least 8% of a segment away from either edge, so the pointer is always clearly inside one segment and a result never has to be argued over. Within that band the exact stopping point is random too, drawn from the same generator, so where the wheel stops inside a segment varies from spin to spin.
- Can the wheel have three options?
- Yes. With the Wheel mode selected, switch the segments from Yes / No to Yes / No / Maybe and the wheel is redrawn with three equal segments, each with a third of the chance. The tally lists maybe even while it is at zero, so you can see the odds you are playing with.
- What does the tally under the wheel show?
- 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.
- Does it work without the animation?
- Yes. With reduced motion, the wheel jumps directly to its final position and shows the same random answer. Press Space to spin while focus is outside fields, buttons and links, or use Ask with its normal keyboard controls. Reset, mode or segment changes, and question edits cancel a pending spin before it can add a result.
- Can I make a custom yes or no wheel?
- This page provides fixed Yes / No or Yes / No / Maybe segments with equal chances. For your own labels or repeated tickets, use the related Spin the Wheel tool. Exact percentage weights, programmed winners and custom skins are not controls on this wheel.
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.
