A planchette (pronounced /plænˈʃɛt/ plan-shet), from the French for "little plank", is a small, usually heart-shaped flat piece of wood that one moves around on a board to spell out messages or answer questions. Paranormal advocates believe that the planchette is moved by some extra-normal force. Skeptics attribute the motion to the ideomotor effect. In typical usage, a pencil would be attached to the planchette, writing letters or other designs on paper to be later interpreted by a medium.
