Thanks for the feedback!
Hold a question in your head, press Decide for me, and the Yes or No Wheel answers with one of six verdicts, from a plain "Yes" to "Absolutely not". It is built for small, low-stakes calls where you have already spent longer dithering than the choice is worth: which snack, which route home, one more episode or bed.
The six possible answers and their odds
Every click lands on one of these six answers, each with exactly the same chance:
| Answer shown | Counts as | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | 1 in 6 |
| Definitely | Yes | 1 in 6 |
| No | No | 1 in 6 |
| Absolutely not | No | 1 in 6 |
| Maybe | Undecided | 1 in 6 |
| Ask again later | Undecided | 1 in 6 |
Grouped together, that is a one-in-three chance of a yes-type answer, one in three for a no-type answer and one in three for a non-answer. Yes and No are perfectly balanced, but despite the name the wheel will not give you a definite verdict every time. That third outcome is deliberate: it adds some suspense and gives you an easy excuse to spin again.
How each answer is picked
There is no question box, and the tool never needs to know what you are asking. Each click draws a fresh number from your browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues) and maps it to one of the six answers, all on your own device. Draws are independent of each other: three "No" results in a row do not make "Yes" any more likely next time, and the chance of seeing the same answer twice running is simply 1 in 6.
Getting something useful out of a random verdict
- Watch your own reaction. The moment the answer appears, notice whether you feel relief or disappointment. If "No" makes your heart sink, you have learned what you actually wanted, and you can go with that instead.
- Agree the rules before clicking. Decide in advance whether the first result is final and what "Maybe" means (spin again, or default to the first option). Otherwise it is tempting to keep clicking until the wheel says what you hoped for.
- Use it to settle harmless stand-offs. Two friends who both refuse to choose the film, a family arguing over who washes up: a neutral random answer ends the debate without anyone "losing".
- Keep it away from serious decisions. Health, money, legal matters and anything that seriously affects another person deserve real thought, not a random draw.
When a different random tool fits better
If you need a strict two-way outcome with no "Maybe", the coin flip gives a plain heads or tails instead. For choosing between three or more named options, such as restaurants or who goes first, list them in the random picker, which picks one winner from any number of lines. And if you would like your question displayed above a fortune-teller style reply, the Magic 8-Ball has a box for typing it in.
