Random Letter Generator
"Words starting with… Q. Go!" Whether you're playing Stop (City-Country-River), Scattergories, or drilling the alphabet with a five-year-old, sometimes you just need one honest random letter. Pick your set — full alphabet, vowels, or consonants — hit generate, and let the letters fly before one lands.
How to use it
- Choose a letter set — full A–Z, vowels only, or consonants only.
- Pick the case — uppercase for game boards, lowercase for reading practice.
- Generate — the display cycles through letters before settling on one.
- Play — your last 10 letters stay visible so nobody can claim you cheated.
Game ideas
- Stop / Scattergories: draw a letter, everyone writes a name, city, animal, food… fastest or most original answers win.
- Word chains: next word must start with the drawn letter — great for road trips.
- Alphabet learning: draw a letter, the kid finds three objects around the house that start with it.
- Improv and drawing prompts: the letter picks your character, place or object.
- Vocabulary workouts: language learners — draw a consonant, list 10 words in your target language.
Equal odds for every letter
Each letter in your chosen set has exactly the same chance: 1 in 26 for the full alphabet, 1 in 5 for vowels, 1 in 21 for consonants. That's worth noting because real language is nothing like uniform — in English text, E appears about 170 times more often than the rarest letters. A fair generator gives Q, X and Z their moment, which is precisely what makes letter games spicy.
FAQ
Can I get the same letter twice in a row?
Yes — draws are independent, like dice rolls. Rare, but perfectly normal.
Can I exclude letters we already used?
Not yet — for no-repeat draws, put the letters you still need on the Wheel of List spinner, which removes each result automatically.
Does it support accented or non-English alphabets?
Currently the 26-letter English alphabet, which covers most games played worldwide.
