About the Yes or No

The wheel starts with exactly two entries: Yes and No. On an ordinary spin each has a 50% chance. Maybe is available in the entries catalog but is not selected by default. Enabling it makes three equally likely entries, so each then has a one-in-three chance.

A random answer can break a tie between harmless options you already consider acceptable. It cannot tell whether a plan is safe, whether someone consents, or what will happen in the future. If the outcome matters beyond a lighthearted choice, use relevant information and your own judgment.

Ordinary spins can repeat. Two Yes results do not make No more likely next time. No-repeat mode deliberately changes that rule: it visits the active entries once per round. For a fresh independent answer to each question, leave no-repeat and winner removal off.

How to use this tool

  1. Ask one clear question with acceptable Yes and No outcomes.
  2. Check Wheel Entries. Keep the default two entries, or deliberately add Maybe if you want three outcomes.
  3. Leave repeat controls off for independent draws.
  4. Press Spin and read the result when it stops. Agree beforehand whether the result decides the activity or only starts a discussion.

Ways to use the Yes or No

Pick a warm-up activity

Ask whether to start with a drawing exercise when both a drawing exercise and your backup are suitable. One spin resolves the tie.

Demonstrate independent probability

Record ten ordinary spins with two entries. Compare the result counts without expecting exactly five of each. Repeat the experiment and discuss how short runs vary.

Tips for better spins

  • Changing the entries changes the probabilities.
  • A duplicate Yes entry gives Yes additional chances.
  • Do not use no-repeat mode to demonstrate independent coin-flip probability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Maybe included at the start?

No. The initial wheel has only Yes and No. You can enable Maybe in Wheel Entries.

Why did Yes appear several times in a row?

Repeated outcomes are possible with independent draws. With two distinct entries, the next ordinary spin still has a 50% chance for each.

Can a link synchronize the result for my friends?

No. A link carries entries and theme. To watch one common outcome, use one device or have a host share their screen.
