How does the Yes or No Wheel work?
The Yes or No Wheel uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure completely fair and unbiased results. When you spin the wheel, our algorithm generates a random number that determines whether you get 'Yes', 'No', or 'Maybe' (if enabled). Each outcome has exactly equal probability, making every spin truly random.
Is the wheel really random and fair?
Yes! Our wheel uses JavaScript's Math.random() function, which provides cryptographically secure pseudo-random numbers. We've tested our algorithm across millions of spins to verify statistical fairness. There are no hidden algorithms, weighted results, or memory of previous spins - each spin is completely independent and fair.
Do I need to create an account to use the wheel?
No account required! All our decision tools are completely free to use without any registration. Simply visit the website and start spinning immediately. Your privacy is important to us, so we don't collect personal information or require sign-ups.
Can I use the wheel on my mobile phone?
Our website is designed mobile-first and works perfectly on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The wheel is optimized for touch interactions, making it easy to spin on any device.
Using the Tools

Using the Tools

What's the difference between the wheel, tarot, and oracle?
The Yes/No Wheel gives quick, random answers with playful interpretations. The Tarot tool provides mystical guidance with card meanings and spiritual insight. The Oracle offers ancient wisdom with symbolic messages and deeper reflection. Choose based on whether you want quick randomness, mystical guidance, or philosophical wisdom.
How do I get the best results from the wheel?
For best results, ask clear, specific yes/no questions. Avoid vague or complex questions with multiple parts. Focus on decisions where you have two equally appealing options. Remember, the wheel is great for breaking analysis paralysis and removing decision bias.
Can I customize the wheel with my own options?
Yes! Use our Wheel Picker tool to create custom wheels with up to 10 options. You can add your own choices like restaurant names, activities, or any decision options. The tool includes preset wheels to get you started quickly.
What should I do if I don't like the wheel's answer?
Your reaction to the result is valuable information! If you feel disappointed or relieved, that emotion reveals your true preference. The wheel often helps you discover what you really want. You can always spin again, but pay attention to your gut reaction first.
Technical Questions

Technical Questions

Does the wheel remember my previous spins?
No, each spin is completely independent. The wheel has no memory of previous results and doesn't try to 'balance out' outcomes. Every spin has the same probability regardless of what happened before.
Can I share my wheel results?
Currently, results are displayed on your screen for immediate viewing. We're working on adding social sharing features so you can easily share your results with friends on social media platforms.
Why does the wheel spin for several seconds?
The spinning animation builds anticipation and makes the experience more engaging than an instant result. The 3-4 second spin time with realistic physics creates excitement and makes the decision feel more meaningful and fun.
Is there a limit to how many times I can spin?
No limits! You can spin the wheel as many times as you want, completely free. Whether you need one quick decision or want to spin dozens of times, there are no restrictions or usage limits.
Decision Making

Decision Making

When should I use a decision wheel vs. careful analysis?
Use the wheel for low-stakes decisions, equally appealing options, or when you're stuck in analysis paralysis. For major life decisions (career, relationships, health, finances), combine the wheel's insight with careful analysis, research, and consultation with trusted advisors.
Is it okay to make important decisions with a wheel?
The wheel is best for smaller decisions or as one input among many for bigger choices. It can help break ties, reveal preferences, or overcome indecision, but shouldn't be the sole factor for life-changing decisions. Use it as a tool to gain clarity, not as a replacement for thoughtful consideration.
What if I keep getting the same answer repeatedly?
Each spin is truly random, so repeated results are just coincidence - like flipping heads several times in a row. However, if you keep getting the same answer, consider whether the universe (or your subconscious) might be trying to tell you something!
Can the wheel help with group decisions?
The wheel is perfect for group settings because it's neutral and fair. Use it to choose restaurants, activities, games, or settle friendly disputes. Everyone can see the process is unbiased, making it easier for groups to accept the outcome.
