The Yes or No Spinner Wheel User Guide
Our yes or no wheel spinner randomly picks a yes or no decision based on the spin of a wheel. It is a variation of our ‘names on wheel’ core spinner.
Simply choose your desired settings, making any adjustments that best suits your needs and hit the spin icon in the middle of the wheel.
How To Use The Yes No Picker Wheel
The wheel is pre-set to having four slices with Yes and four slices with no. If you are happy with the default settings you can simply click spin (in the middle of the wheel) to spin and get an immediate yes / no answer.
You may however want some variations to the standard yes or no settings. Here are some popular adjustments that users can make to the default settings.
Increasing the Number of Times Yes or No are Featured on the Wheel
You can add or remove the number of occurences that ‘Yes or No’ appear on the wheel by adjusting this in the entries box as seen here…
Adding Words To The Wheel
Again, this is achieved by adding this into the Entries box. Some users like to add the word ‘Maybe’ to the wheel as a desired option.
Mixing Up The Order Of The Words
Some users prefer to mix up the order of the yes / no / maybe and make it more random. This can be simply ahcieved by clicking on the ‘Shuffle’ button or by manually changing the order in the entries box. If using the shuffle method, we suggest pressing a few times to get a good, random order.
Accumulating The Scores
Often users like to obtain a definitive answer through an accumulation of occurences. For example the best of ‘3’ gives the final decision. Our wheel accumulates the score automatically, through the results tab and can be cleared and reset at anytime. See here…
Other Customization Options
On top of the popular options mentioned above, there are also a number of options to customize the wheel to your exact requirements. Here is a selection from our full guide along with some videos that will take you through some more ways to create a unique, yes or no picker wheel.

When to Use our Yes or No Wheel
Making simple yes/no decisions can sometimes feel surprisingly challenging. We’ve all found ourselves stuck in moments of indecision, asking questions like:
- “Should I go to that party tonight?”
- “Should I buy these shoes?”
- “Should I try that new restaurant?”
- “Should I start that project today?”
- “Should I take the day off?”
- Should I ask her/him out?
When you find yourself going back and forth on a decision, watching minutes or even hours slip by without making a choice, this wheel can help break that cycle of indecision.
While traditional methods like flipping a coin work, this Yes/No Wheel offers a more engaging way to reach a decision. Simply spin the wheel, and let chance help guide your choice.
It’s particularly useful for those everyday decisions where both options are equally valid, and you just need a push in one direction or the other.
Remember: The wheel is best used for lighthearted decisions rather than major life choices that require careful consideration.
