Yes No Maybe Wheel
A three-slice wheel that lands on Yes, No or Maybe with equal one in three odds. For decisions where think it over is a real answer too.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-3 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 3 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 No Maybe 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 No Maybe 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.
Some questions are not ready for a hard yes or no, and forcing them into two answers is how a coin flip ends up ignored. The yes no maybe wheel adds the honest third option: a one in three chance each for yes, no, and sleep on it. Spin it for the plans you are lukewarm about, the purchases that can wait a week, the messages that might read better tomorrow. When Maybe lands, treat it as permission to postpone without guilt; when Yes or No lands and you wince, you have just learned what you actually wanted, which is the quiet superpower of every decision wheel. Groups use it as a gentler magic 8-ball for icebreakers and party questions. If your maybe deserves better odds, add a second Maybe slice in the entry box to shift it to fifty-fifty, or remove it entirely and you are back to the classic yes or no wheel.
The odds on this wheel
There are 3 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 3 = 33.3%. 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 33.3%.
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 − 1/3)10 = 98.3%. 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

All three answers have an equal one in three chance, about 33.3%, on every spin. No answer is ever favoured or due.
When is yes no maybe better than a plain yes or no?
When postponing is a genuine option. For plans you are lukewarm about or purchases that can wait, the Maybe slice gives think it over a fair seat at the table instead of forcing a snap answer.
Can I change how likely Maybe is?
Yes. Add a second Maybe entry to raise it to a fifty percent chance, or delete it to turn this back into a classic two-way yes or no wheel.
