About this tool
A random letter generator picks one or more letters from A to Z completely at random. Choose how many letters you need, optionally limit to vowels or consonants, then tap Generate. It's ideal for word games like Scattergories, alphabet challenges and quick classroom or homeschool activities.
How to use it
- Choose how many letters you need.
- Tap Generate.
- Read your random letter.
- Generate again for the next round.
Game & classroom ideas
- Scattergories & Categories — draw a starting letter; everyone races to fill each category with a word that begins with it.
- Alphabet bingo — call out random letters for kids to mark on their cards.
- Scavenger hunt — find an object in the room that starts with the drawn letter.
- Story starter — write a sentence whose first word begins with the letter.
- Drawing challenge — sketch something that starts with the letter — great for warm-ups.
Vowels, consonants & no repeats
Need only vowels for a phonics drill, or only consonants to make a round harder? Limit the draw to either set. Switch on 'no repeats' and every letter comes up just once, so a class can work through the whole alphabet without duplicates.
How it works
Each letter is chosen with your browser's cryptographically secure randomness, so every draw is independent and unbiased — no letter is favoured and nothing is sent to a server.
