Yes or No Wheel
A simple two-slice wheel that lands on Yes or No with even fifty-fifty odds. The quickest way to break a tie with yourself, no coin needed.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-2 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 2 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 Yes or No 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 Yes or No 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.
A yes or no wheel is the fastest way out of a stalemate with yourself. Should you send the message, order takeout, or start the project tonight? Spin once and take the answer, or notice how you feel about the result, because a flash of disappointment tells you what you actually wanted. That trick makes this simple wheel surprisingly useful for indecisive moments. With two equal slices, the odds are a clean fifty fifty on every spin, the same as a fair coin flip but more fun to watch. Groups use it too: classrooms settle small debates with it on the projector, and streamers let chat watch the wheel make the call. If you want more nuance, add a Maybe or Ask again slice in the entries box and the wheel rebalances the odds automatically.
The odds on this wheel
There are 2 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 2 = 50.0%. 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 50.0%.
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 − 1/2)10 = 99.9%. Edit the entry list and every figure here recomputes, because they are derived from the wheel rather than written down beside it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Yes or No wheel a fair 50/50 like a coin flip?
Yes, with only two slices the wheel gives Yes and No an equal 1 in 2 chance on every spin, so it works just like flipping a coin.
Can I add a "Maybe" option to the Yes or No wheel?
Absolutely, type Maybe into the entry box beneath the wheel and it becomes a third slice; that shifts the odds to a 1 in 3 chance for each answer.
What kinds of decisions is the Yes or No wheel good for?
It's handy for quick either/or calls like "should I go out tonight?" or "do I reply now?" when you just want an impartial nudge instead of overthinking it.
