Ways to use a yes or no wheel in class
Predictions
Before an experiment or a story's ending, students predict, then spin Yes or No for a bonus question.
Review games
A true-or-false review: read a statement, spin, and the class decides whether the wheel got it right.
At home
Dessert first? Movie night? Add Maybe for the “ask again later” answers families love.
How the randomness works
The answer is picked by your browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues) before the wheel moves, then the wheel lands on it. Values that would favour one answer are thrown away and drawn again, so there is no bias.
Need more than yes or no?
For your own answers, use the full wheel: up to 1,000 entries, weights and emoji. Try the this or that wheel or the would you rather wheel for warm-ups.

Yes or no wheel FAQs
Still stuck? Write to support@chalkspin.com.
Is the yes or no wheel really 50/50?
Yes. Both slices are the same size and every spin uses your browser's cryptographic random generator with rejection sampling, so Yes and No each have exactly a one-in-two chance. With Maybe added, each answer has one chance in three.
Can I add Maybe?
Yes. Turn on “Add Maybe” for three equal slices. Turn it off to go back to a plain yes or no.
Can I type my question on the wheel?
Yes. Type it in “Your question” and it shows in large type above the wheel, in full screen and in the share link.
How do I share the result?
Press Copy link. The link opens this wheel with your question and options; the answer itself isn't stored anywhere, so whoever opens it spins for themselves.
Why did it say Yes three times in a row?
Fair randomness has streaks. Three Yes answers in a row happen about one time in eight. Each spin is independent; the wheel never remembers the last answer.
