Yes or no wheel

How to use the yes or no wheel

1. Type your question at the top of the wheel, if you like. It is shown with the answer and in full screen.
2. Press Spin, click the wheel or press Space.
3. Read the big answer on the right. Your last answers are listed under it.

Turn on Add “Maybe” for a third answer, or Best of 3 to let the wheel spin up to three times: the first answer to win twice is the result.

Are the odds really 50/50?

Yes. The answer is drawn first with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so Yes and No each have exactly a 50% chance (a third each with Maybe). The wheel then lands on one of that answer’s slices. Yes and No each have four slices, so the wheel looks lively without changing the odds.

When a spin helps

• Small choices that eat time: order in or cook, go out or stay in, one more episode or bed.
• Breaking a tie when two options feel the same.
• Finding out what you want: if you feel disappointed by the answer, that tells you something too.
• Classroom games: true or false rounds, or deciding who answers a question.

For decisions with real consequences, use the wheel as a nudge, not a verdict.

Best of three

Best of 3 spins until one answer has won twice, so the series stops after two spins when they agree. With Maybe turned on, three different answers can come up; the wheel calls that a split and you can spin again.
