What is a yes or no wheel?
A yes or no wheel is a spinner split into yes and no slices that picks a random answer to a question. You ask, spin, and the slice under the pointer when the wheel stops is your answer. This wheel is free, works in any browser and can add maybe as a third answer.
How the yes or no wheel works
Press Spin or tap the centre of the wheel. Your browser picks the winning slice with a secure random number before the wheel starts moving, then the animation lands on it. Every slice has the same chance, so with yes and no only the odds are exactly 50/50.
Adding more slices does not change the odds. It just makes the spin feel longer and more dramatic, which is the point. Switch to Yes / No / Maybe if you want the wheel to be allowed to dodge.
When a wheel beats a coin
- Groups and classrooms. Everyone can watch the wheel slow down, which makes the result feel fair.
- Streams and videos. A spin builds suspense in a way a coin flip cannot.
- Best of three. The tally under the wheel counts your yeses and noes for this visit.
Yes or no wheel FAQ
Is the yes or no wheel fair?
Yes. The winning slice is chosen with a secure random number before the wheel moves, and every slice has the same chance. With yes and no only, each answer has a 50% chance.
Can I add maybe to the wheel?
Yes. Pick Yes / No / Maybe under the wheel. Each of the three answers then has a one in three chance.
Do more slices change the odds?
No. Slices alternate evenly, so 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 slices give the same odds. More slices only make the spin look longer.
