Quick answer

A yes-or-no generator returns a random answer, each option equally likely. With two options it’s a fair 50/50 between yes and no; add “maybe” and each of the three becomes about a one-in-three chance. This tool uses your browser’s secure random generator.

Formula & method

Each answer is drawn from the browser’s Web Crypto API and mapped to the available options with equal probability. Results are independent — a previous answer never influences the next one. With “maybe” enabled, the tool chooses uniformly among yes, no, and maybe.

Examples

Example 1: Yes/No
Input
Two options
Result
Yes or No (50/50)
Why
Each answer is equally likely and independent.
Example 2: With maybe
Input
Three options
Result
Yes, No, or Maybe (≈ 33% each)
Why
Adding ‘maybe’ makes it a fair three-way choice.
Example 3: Breaking a tie
Input
Yes = go, No = stay
Result
An unbiased decision
Why
Assign meanings to each answer first.

When to use this tool

  • Settling a trivial either/or decision quickly.
  • Breaking a deadlock when you genuinely don’t mind the outcome.
  • Adding a bit of chance to a game or activity.

Common mistakes

  • Using it for important decisions about money, health, or safety.
  • Re-rolling until you get the answer you wanted — that defeats the point.
  • Expecting a pattern; each result is independent and random.

Frequently asked questions

Is the yes or no answer random?

Yes. It uses your browser’s secure random generator, with each option equally likely and every result independent.

Can I add a ‘maybe’ option?

Yes. Enable maybe to turn it into a fair three-way choice between yes, no, and maybe.

Should I use this for big decisions?

No. It’s for fun and trivial choices. Don’t use it for decisions about money, health, legal matters, or safety.

Are the odds really 50/50?

With two options, yes — each has a 50% chance. Short runs can look lopsided, but that’s normal randomness.

Is anything tracked?

No. The result is generated in your browser and nothing is stored or uploaded.

Should I use this for medical, financial, or legal decisions?

No. This tool is purely for fun and trivial choices. Always consult qualified professionals (doctors, accountants, lawyers) for decisions about health, money, or legal matters.

Can I ask it multiple yes/no questions in a row?

Yes. Each result is independent, so you can ask as many questions as you like. Just remember: re-rolling until you get the answer you want defeats the purpose!
