How to use it

A yes or no wheel is the fastest way to break a deadlock. It works the same way a coin flip does — two outcomes, equal odds — but it is a lot more satisfying to watch, and you can hand your phone round a group without anyone losing the coin under the sofa.

There is a well-known trick to this one: pay attention to how you feel while the wheel is still spinning. If you catch yourself hoping for a particular answer, you already know what you want, and the wheel has done its job before it even stops. Psychologists call this affective forecasting; most people just call it gut instinct.

If a straight fifty-fifty feels too blunt, edit the options on the right. Adding "Ask again later" or "Definitely not" turns it into a magic-8-ball style wheel. You can also add the same answer twice to weight the odds in its favour.

Common questions

Is the yes or no wheel actually random?
Yes. Each spin uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so the result is genuinely unpredictable and no outcome is favoured over another.
Can I change the odds?
Yes — add an option more than once. A wheel with "Yes" listed twice and "No" once will land on Yes roughly two thirds of the time.
Can I share my wheel with someone else?
Hit Share link and the whole wheel is packed into the URL. Anyone you send it to opens the exact same wheel, and nobody needs an account.
