How the yes or no coin works
Keep your question in mind, or say it out loud, then tap the coin. It is a simple 50/50: there is no hidden logic, no reading of your question and no bias towards either answer. That is exactly what makes it useful when you have gone round in circles and just need to move on.
Good questions to flip for
- Should I go out tonight?
- Order takeaway?
- Do the workout now, or later?
- Text them first?
For bigger choices, treat the flip as a gut check rather than a verdict. If a NO makes you want to flip again, your answer was probably YES all along.

Frequently asked questions
Is the yes or no coin random?
Yes. Every flip has an exactly equal chance of YES or NO, decided by your browser's secure random number generator.
Can I ask the same question twice?
You can, but the answer has no memory. A common rule is to agree before you flip that the first answer counts.
Can I flip for something other than yes or no?
Yes. Use the main coin flipper, where you can type your own label on each side.
