Frequently Asked Questions
What is a random letter generator used for?
Classroom games (name a country starting with…), Scattergories and word games, drawing practice prompts, picking teams by initial, and settling anything alphabetical fairly. Teachers are the biggest fans.
Can I generate more than one letter at a time?
Yes — set how many letters you want (up to 10). Choose whether repeats are allowed; with repeats off, you can draw the whole alphabet without seeing a letter twice.
Can I exclude hard letters like Q, X and Z?
Yes. Toggle "skip rare letters" to exclude Q, X and Z — handy for games where those letters are nearly impossible (name an animal starting with X…).
Is every letter equally likely?
Yes, each enabled letter has the same probability on every draw, using your browser’s random number generator.
