BeanNest Wheel guide

Use a Yes or No wheel for low-stakes choices

A Yes or No wheel is useful when the options are genuinely interchangeable and you want a playful tie-breaker. It should not replace judgment for health, safety, money, legal, or other consequential decisions.

Try the workflow

Use the live tool after you understand the behavior and limits described below.

Open Yes or No Wheel

Write the question separately from the answers

The question field helps people remember what the spin refers to, while the wheel contains only the answer choices. In the verified P0 flow, the question stays in the browser tab and is not added to the URL.

Start with Yes and No, then add Maybe only when it means something

A third answer changes the decision from binary to three-way. Use it when postponing or gathering more information is a real option, not just to make the wheel busier.

Treat each visible answer entry as one position

The wheel selects among the current entries. Duplicating Yes would change the list composition, so use explicit answer sets rather than trying to hide a desired bias in repeated labels.

Good uses are reversible and low cost

Examples include choosing whether to play another round, picking between equally acceptable activities, or settling a harmless group tie. If a bad result could cause meaningful harm or loss, do not outsource the choice to a random wheel.

Restore the default when the custom set is no longer relevant

The restore control returns the page to the basic Yes/No set so a previous custom answer does not quietly affect the next question.

Designing a useful answer set

Two answers are enough when the question is a genuine either-or. Add a third answer only when it changes the decision, such as Yes, No, and Maybe. More answers can dilute the question rather than help it. Keep custom answers short so they remain readable on the segments and in the result.

When not to use a wheel

Do not use a random wheel for health, legal, financial, safety, or emergency decisions. It also should not substitute for a group discussion, a vote, or a person who has the authority to decide. A wheel is a low-stakes tie-breaker; treating it as more than that is a social problem, not a feature.
