The Oracle Coin
Ask a yes-or-no question and tap the coin. It answers in one of ten ways, from a clear yes to “trust your gut.”
Tap the coin, or press Space or Enter.
The coin has spoken. Sit with it.
Asking again won’t change the coin’s mind. Here is what it said:
Sun side up
Yes
This one is bigger than a coin.

How the oracle coin works
Three faces · ten answersThe coin has three faces it can land on, and ten answers behind them. When you tap it, your browser draws a random number with crypto.getRandomValues (the same source used to make security keys) and picks one of the ten answers by weight. Your question does not change the odds.
- Sun leans yes. About 34% of flips.
- Moon no, or not yet. About 33% of flips.
- Star open: the question comes back to you. About 33% of flips.
The odds are balanced on purpose: the coin is neither a yes machine nor a prophet of doom. The emphatic answers are the rarest, so a “Definitely” still feels like an event.
Ask the same question again within ten minutes and the coin will not flip. It reminds you that it has spoken. Questions about health, the law or money get gentler answers that never claim certainty.
| Answer | Face | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Sun | 12% |
| Definitely | Sun | 7% |
| Likely | Sun | 15% |
| Not yet | Moon | 12% |
| Unlikely | Moon | 10% |
| No | Moon | 11% |
| Maybe | Star | 10% |
| Ask again tomorrow | Star | 7% |
| Trust your gut | Star | 9% |
| Let it go | Star | 7% |
How to ask a good yes/no question
Five habits- Make it about your next step. “Should I apply for the job?” gives the coin something to answer; “Will they hire me?” hands it someone else’s decision.
- One question at a time. “Should I move and change jobs?” is two questions. Ask them separately.
- Keep it closed. If the honest question is “What should I do?”, it belongs in a three-card spread, not a coin.
- Ask once, then notice yourself. The flash of relief or disappointment when the answer lands is often the real answer.
- Leave big decisions to real advice. Health, legal and money questions deserve a professional; let the coin speak only to how you feel.
Common questions
Oracle coinIs the oracle coin really random?
Yes. Each flip uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source used to make security keys, and nothing about your question changes the odds. The ten answers are weighted so that about 34% of flips lean yes, 33% lean no or not yet, and 33% hand the question back to you.
Why won’t the coin flip again for the same question?
Asking until you get the answer you want turns an oracle into a slot machine. If you ask the same question again within ten minutes, the coin reminds you of its first answer and suggests you sit with it. A new question gets a new flip straight away.
Is my question saved or sent anywhere?
No. Your question never leaves your device: it is not sent to our server, not counted in our statistics, not put in any link and never drawn on the share image. To recognise a repeat, the page keeps a short scrambled fingerprint of it (a hash, not the words) in this browser tab’s session storage for ten minutes.
How is this different from yes or no tarot?
The coin gives a quick verdict in an oracle’s voice. Yes or no tarot draws one of 78 cards and explains why it leans yes, no or maybe, so you get a reason as well as an answer. When a question has several moving parts, a three-card spread reads it best.
Can the oracle coin answer health, legal or money questions?
Not with any certainty, and it won’t pretend to. When a question touches health, the law or money, the coin answers gently and suggests talking to a qualified professional. Treat it as a way to notice how you feel, for reflection and entertainment only.
