Random Letter

Draw random letters of the alphabet — great for games.

Drawing letters

One tap, one big letter. Restrict to vowels or consonants, switch case, and turn on no-repeats to deal the alphabet like a bag of 26 tiles — every letter exactly once until a reset, with the drawn history shown below.

Games and classrooms

Scattergories and its endless variants are the classic use: draw a letter, name a country, food and film starting with it. Car-journey alphabet games, choosing who goes first, phonics and letter-recognition drills, handwriting practice — a teacher's tap beats a tattered bag of tiles.

Unlike Scrabble's bag, every letter here is equally likely — the game deliberately stocks twelve Es and one Z to mirror English usage; this generator treats Q and E alike, which is exactly what letter-game fairness wants. Draws use the cryptographic source with rejection sampling, the same machinery as the random number generator. Whole words instead of letters is the random word generator's job, and names from a list belong to the random picker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a random letter with no repeats?

Turn on no-repeats mode: letters are dealt like tiles from a bag, each exactly once until you reset, with the history shown.

Can I draw only vowels or only consonants?

Yes — the filter buttons restrict the pool to A E I O U or the other 21 letters, useful for phonics and word games.

Is every letter equally likely?

Yes, exactly — unlike a Scrabble bag, which carries many more Es than Zs on purpose. Each of the 26 has a 1-in-26 chance per draw.

What can I use this for?

Scattergories-style games, picking who starts, classroom phonics, alphabet games and any moment a fair letter beats a predictable one.
