Yes or No

How to Use the Yes or No Wheel

Getting an answer takes about three seconds. Here's the short version:

1. Optionally, type your question. The input above the wheel lets you write "Should I order takeout?" so you have a visual reminder of what you're deciding. The question is never sent anywhere — it's just for you.
2. Press Spin, click the wheel, or hit the Spacebar. The wheel spins for about 1.8 seconds, then lands on either the green Yes half or the red No half.
3. Read your answer. The result appears in large text below the wheel with a short message. If you turned on the confetti or speech toggles, you'll get a little celebration too.
4. Optional: Best of 3 or Best of 5. Not convinced by a single spin? Click the Best of 3 or Best of 5 button to run several spins at once and get a majority verdict.
5. Optional: Customize the labels. Click the ✏️ Customize button above the wheel to change YES and NO to your own two options — like "Pizza" and "Tacos". The wheel updates instantly.

When people actually use this tool

A decision wheel sounds like a novelty, but it gets real use in dozens of everyday situations. Some of the most common:

• Restaurant and takeout decisions. Rename the labels to your two top choices, spin, and stop second-guessing. This works especially well for couples who can't agree.
• Streamer and YouTuber giveaways. Use it live on stream to make a yes/no decision on a viewer question, or as a mini-game wheel.
• Classroom activities. Teachers use it for "yes you get a bonus point" or "no, back to your seat" in review games. Turn on the countdown for drama.
• Group dares and party games. Truth or dare? Spin the wheel to decide. Combine with the question input to make the stakes clear.
• Personal productivity. Stuck on whether to take a call, send an email, or schedule a meeting? Let the wheel decide. Sometimes getting out of the analysis-paralysis loop is the whole point.
• Habit-tracking gamification. For example, "did I work out today?" spin once at the end of the day. Over a month you get a Yes/No history that becomes a light-weight tracker.
• Introducing kids to probability. The stats panel shows how the distribution trends toward 50/50 as you spin more. It's a nice hands-on lesson in randomness.
• Magic 8-ball replacement. When you need an answer that isn't from you, the wheel is quicker and more visual than shaking a phone.

Is the result actually random?

Yes. Each spin calls Math.random() — the same pseudo-random generator your browser uses for everything from password generators to game logic. The function returns a number between 0 and 1, and if that number is below 0.5 the wheel lands on Yes; otherwise it lands on No. That's a true 50/50 draw with no scripting or bias.

The wheel animation itself is not random — the winner is picked first, then the wheel is rotated to land on that half with a small random offset so it never stops in exactly the same spot twice. This gives you a satisfying visual spin without compromising the underlying randomness.

You can verify the fairness yourself. Spin 100 times using Best of 5 mode and check the percentages on the Yes and No stat cards. They should both sit close to 50 percent — usually within a few points either way. That's the law of large numbers doing its job.

Why we built this tool

Most online Yes/No wheels are covered in ads, force you to watch a video before you can spin, or hide the useful features (stats, history, majority mode) behind a paywall. We wanted something cleaner: fast, private, and surprisingly useful.

Everything runs in your browser. There is no login, no analytics on your spins, and no server-side processing. You can use it offline once the page has loaded, and your decision history never leaves your device.
