A fair 50/50 answer, instantly
The yes or no button is the fastest decision maker on the internet: one press, one answer. Behind the button is a cryptographically secure random choice, so “yes” and “no” each have exactly a 50% chance — the same as a perfectly fair coin flip, without the coin. Tick Allow “Maybe” if you want a third, non-committal option; the odds then become one in three each.
Use it for small decisions you are overthinking: order dessert? Go for a run? Text them back now? Many people find that the moment the answer appears, they know whether they’re relieved or disappointed — which tells them what they actually wanted. Prefer the suspense of a spin? The yes or no wheel below does the same job with sound and confetti, and you can tally results over several presses.
How to use the Yes or No Button
- Think of a question that can be answered with yes or no.
- Press the big Yes or No? button.
- Tick Allow “Maybe” for a three-way answer.
- Or spin the yes or no wheel below for a slower reveal.
Yes or no odds explained
| Mode | Chance of “Yes” | Chance of 3 “Yes” in a row |
|---|---|---|
| Yes / No | 50% | 12.5% (1 in 8) |
| Yes / No / Maybe | 33.3% | 3.7% (1 in 27) |
Each press is independent: getting “No” five times in a row (a 1 in 32 chance) does not make “Yes” more likely next time.
Frequently asked questions
Is the yes or no button really 50/50?
Yes. Each press uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator to choose between two options with equal probability.
Is this the same as flipping a coin?
Mathematically yes — a fair coin and this button both give each outcome a 50% chance, and each flip is independent of the last.
Can I add a “maybe” option?
Yes. Tick “Allow Maybe” for three equally likely answers, or try the dedicated yes, no, maybe wheel.
Should I make important decisions with it?
Use it for low-stakes choices or to discover your gut feeling. For important decisions, weigh the facts and talk to people you trust.
