Yes or No Wheel
The wheel holds three Yes and three No slices at equal chance, so one spin turns your open question into a fifty-fifty verdict.
Getting an answer you will actually keep
- Ask one plain question
Phrase it so a bare Yes or No resolves it, with no hidden third option.
- Name the follow-through
Decide what each answer commits you to, so the result turns into action, not a rematch.
- Spin and notice your gut
Take the answer, and if it makes you wince, you just learned what you really wanted.
Tip: Choose the rule before you start, such as one spin or best of three, and use the same rule for everyone.
When either answer would be fine
Reach for this wheel when you have argued both sides too long: send the message or not, keep the plan or cancel, order out or cook. Every enabled slice starts with the same chance, and spins are independent, so a short streak of one answer is normal.
Want different odds? Add copies of one answer: five Yes slices against three No tilts the total toward Yes. Only add Maybe if you could act on it; an ignored answer just forces another spin.
Good ways to use it
Use the wheel for low-stakes choices where both answers are safe and reasonable.
- Decisions Quick choices: Settle simple questions such as cooking at home or ordering in when either option works.
- Groups Neutral tie-breakers: Let everyone watch the same visible result when a group is split between two acceptable plans.
- Games Party challenges: Use Yes and No as a light game prompt after everyone agrees to the rules and can skip.

Common questions
Is this wheel a true 50/50?
Untouched, yes: three Yes and three No slices with the same starting chance. Deleting slices, adding duplicates, or using Advanced weights changes the split.
Do I type my question somewhere?
No. The wheel never sees the question, it only picks a slice. Hold the question in mind, spin, and apply the answer yourself.
