Magic 8 Ball Answer Wheel
Ask a yes or no question, then spin for a classic Magic 8 Ball style answer. A fun way to settle small decisions.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-14 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 14 entries on the wheel.
The entries travel in the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Nobody, including us, can read a shared wheel from a log.
Please keep the attribution link on the last line. It is the only thing we ask in return, and it is what pays for the wheel being free.

About the Magic 8 Ball Wheel
This wheel comes pre filled and ready to spin. Give it a whirl as is, or edit the entries in the box to make it your own. Every slice has equal odds, so the result is fair each and every time. When the wheel stops, the pointer at the top marks the winning slice.
Nothing you spin is uploaded anywhere. The Magic 8 Ball Wheel runs entirely in your browser, and you can save your edits to your own device. When you want your visitors to spin the same wheel, copy the embed code under the wheel and drop it onto your page.
The Magic 8 Ball is a well loved novelty toy that answers yes or no questions with one of twenty stock phrases. This wheel recreates that experience in a spinnable form. Think of a question in your head, give the wheel a spin, and read the reply it lands on. The answers range from confident yeses to firm nos, with a few noncommittal ones like ask again later mixed in, just like the original. It is meant purely for fun, so it works best for low stakes decisions such as whether to order dessert or which chore to tackle first. Because every phrase sits on its own equal slice, the mix of positive, negative, and neutral replies stays balanced across many spins. If you want a purely optimistic version, or want to add your own catchphrases, edit the entries and the wheel updates right away.
The odds on this wheel
There are 14 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 14 = 7.1%. Every spin is independent of the one before it, which means no result is ever due: after ten spins without a particular slice, the chance on the eleventh is still 7.1%.
Across several spins the maths follows the complement rule. The chance of a given slice coming up at least oncein ten spins is 1 − (1 − 1/14)10 = 52.3%. Edit the entry list and every figure here recomputes, because they are derived from the wheel rather than written down beside it.
