The Yes or No wheel is a free online decision maker with two answers on it. Type your question, spin, and the wheel gives you a yes or a no. Nothing is stored on a server, nothing needs installing, and you can spin as many times as you like.
It does the same job as flipping a coin, with three differences that matter in practice. You can add a Maybe segment when the honest answer is not binary. You can run a best of 3 or best of 5 round so a single unlucky spin does not decide something you care about. And because the question sits on screen next to the answer, a screenshot of the result still makes sense to somebody who was not in the room.
The wheel is most useful for the decisions that are genuinely close. If you have gone back and forth twice and neither option has pulled ahead, the two choices are probably worth about the same to you, and the time you spend deciding now costs more than picking wrong would. That is exactly the situation a yes or no wheel is for.
A two-answer wheel is not a substitute for thinking. It is useful once thinking has stopped producing new information, which happens more often than most of us admit.
The classic close call. You want to see people and you also want your sofa, and both are fine outcomes. Spin once, and notice how you feel about the answer before you act on it. A flash of disappointment at "no" tells you more than another twenty minutes of thinking would have.
Two people, one decision, no new arguments left. Frame it as a yes or no question, agree that the wheel decides, and spin in front of each other. Neither person has to concede, which is often the real obstacle rather than the decision itself.
Project the wheel and use it to decide whether the class does the extra question, whether the lesson ends with a game, or whether a story character says yes. Best of 5 stretches a single moment into a short, tense round that a room can watch together.
Use it as the referee. Should they do the dare? Does the round count? Two answers and a public spin remove the argument about who decides, which is usually the part that stalls the game.
Set a rule in advance: spin once, and if it says no, the answer is no for today. It works for the small recurring negotiations, the extra episode, the third coffee, the impulse purchase, precisely because the rule is agreed before you know the outcome.
This is the most useful thing a two-answer wheel does. Ask the question, spin, and pay attention to your reaction to the result rather than the result itself. Relief means you wanted that answer. Immediately wanting to spin again means you wanted the other one. Either way you have your answer, and it did not come from the wheel.
Before a vote, spin the wheel on the proposal and watch the room react. It is a fast, low-stakes way to surface how people actually feel, and it costs nothing because everyone knows the spin is not binding.
Does the character take the offer? Does the scene end badly? Spinning for plot decisions produces stories that go places you would not have chosen, which is the point. Add Maybe when you want a complication rather than a fork.
Open Wheel options and turn on Add "Maybe". The wheel then holds Yes, No, and Maybe, each with an equal share. Use it when the honest set of outcomes includes "not yet" or "not enough information", which is more often than a two-answer wheel admits.
Instead of one spin, run a short round. Best of 3 finishes as soon as one answer has won twice; best of 5 finishes as soon as one answer has won three times. If no answer reaches a majority early, the round runs to its full length. The result dots show the exact sequence of spins, so you can see how the round was won.
Type what you are actually deciding into the question field. It sits above the wheel, it is included when you share or copy the outcome, and it stops a shared result from being a context-free "YES".
The session card keeps a running tally of the answers so far, so you can see at a glance whether the wheel has been leaning one way during a long round. History is per session and lives only in your browser.
Have the wheel spin again automatically for a continuous round, rather than clicking between each spin. Useful when the wheel is on a projector and you want the room watching the wheel rather than watching you press a button.
Adjust how long each spin takes, and turn the spin sound on or off. A shorter spin suits rapid rounds; a longer one suits a draw that a group is watching.
With Yes and No on the wheel and no Maybe segment, every spin is an even split, exactly like a fair coin. Neither answer is favoured, and the wheel does not track which one came up last time.
A coin flip happens in one person’s hand in half a second. A wheel spins on a screen everyone is looking at, slows visibly, and stops on an answer nobody can dispute. For a group decision, that visibility is the whole difference.
Plenty of real questions have three honest answers rather than two. The Maybe segment covers the middle without you having to pretend the decision is binary.
One flip is a single random event and feels arbitrary. Best of 5 is still random, but it takes three separate results to land the same way, which most people find easier to accept. The odds of any particular answer are unchanged; what changes is how the outcome feels.
The wheel works best on questions that are genuinely close and phrased so that either answer is something you could live with. These are the kinds of things people actually spin on.
Yes. Each spin picks from the active segments using your browser’s random number generator, and the wheel is then rotated so that the chosen answer comes to rest at the pointer. With Yes and No only, each has an even chance on every spin.
Yes. Open Wheel options and turn on the Add "Maybe" segment setting. The wheel then uses Yes, No, and Maybe as its three possible answers, each with an equal share of the wheel.
They run a short round instead of a single spin. Best of 3 stops as soon as one answer has won two spins, and Best of 5 stops as soon as one answer has won three. If no answer takes an early majority, the round continues to its maximum number of spins. The result dots show the exact sequence.
No. Every spin is independent. Three results in a row for the same answer does not make the other answer more likely on the next spin, however overdue it feels. That is true of coins, dice, and this wheel alike.
Mathematically it is not, when the wheel holds only Yes and No. In practice a wheel is easier for a group to watch and agree on, it can hold a third Maybe answer, it keeps your question on screen next to the result, and it can run a best-of round rather than a single flip.
No, the question field is optional and the wheel spins without it. Filling it in is worth the few seconds if you plan to share or screenshot the result, because it keeps the answer attached to what was being asked.
In your own browser, and nowhere else. The session card reads from local storage on your device. Nothing you type or spin is sent to us, and clearing your browser data clears the history.
It is completely free and there is no account. Open the page and spin. The site is funded by advertising rather than by subscriptions or paid features.
Use it for decisions that are genuinely close, where you have run out of new information and the cost of deciding has overtaken the cost of being slightly wrong. Do not use it for choices with real consequences for your health, money, safety, or legal position. For those, the right move is advice from someone qualified, not a spin.
Yes. The wheel scales to a projector or a large shared screen, and the answer is shown large enough to read from the back of a classroom or meeting room.
