Frequently asked questions
How random are the letters?
Each letter is drawn with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), with rejection sampling to avoid bias. Every letter in play has exactly the same chance. Leaving letters out does not change the odds of the others; they just share the draw between fewer letters.
Can I use this for a category word game?
Yes. Game mode is built for games where everyone lists words that start with the same letter, such as an animal, a city and a food. Press Next letter at the start of each round, set a timer of one to three minutes, and use Big screen so everyone can see the letter. No letter repeats until every letter in play has been used.
Which letters count as vowels?
In English and Spanish the vowels are A, E, I, O and U, and Y is treated as a consonant. Turkish has eight vowels (A, E, I, İ, O, Ö, U, Ü), Greek has seven (Α, Ε, Η, Ι, Ο, Υ, Ω) and Russian has ten (А, Е, Ё, И, О, У, Ы, Э, Ю, Я). The Russian hard and soft signs, Ъ and Ь, are neither vowels nor consonants, so they only appear when All is selected.
What does No repeats do?
With No repeats ticked, one draw never contains the same letter twice. It works like pulling tiles from a bag without putting them back. If you ask for more letters than are in play, you get each letter once. Untick it to allow repeats, which is useful for random strings or practice sheets.
Why does Turkish use a different lower-case i?
Turkish has two separate letters: dotted İ/i and dotless I/ı. The tool stores the correct lower-case form of every letter for each alphabet, so İ becomes i and I becomes ı, as Turkish spelling requires. The same applies to Greek, where Σ becomes σ.
Does it work offline, and is anything saved?
Everything runs in your browser. Once the page has loaded you can keep drawing letters without a connection. Nothing is sent to a server, and your settings and used letters disappear when you close the tab.
About this tool
This random letter generator draws letters for games, classrooms and creative prompts. Choose English A–Z, Spanish with Ñ, the 29-letter Turkish alphabet, Greek or Russian Cyrillic. You can limit the draw to vowels or consonants, pick upper case, lower case or a mix, and tap any letter to take it out of play. The Random letters tab gives you one or many letters at once, with or without repeats, ready to copy.
Game mode is made for word-category games, where every player writes down a word for each category starting with the same letter before time runs out. It works like a shuffled deck: Next letter reveals one letter, the others stay hidden, and no letter comes back until the whole deck has been used. An optional timer beeps at the end of each round. Big screen fills the display with the letter so a whole room or classroom can read it.
The letters are drawn with crypto.getRandomValues, the secure random generator built into browsers, with rejection sampling, so every letter in play is equally likely. Everything runs locally. Each alphabet stores its own upper- and lower-case letters, so Turkish dotted and dotless i and Greek sigma come out correctly instead of relying on the browser's case conversion.
Some practical ideas: teachers can draw random letters for phonics practice or a spelling bee warm-up, language learners can drill a new alphabet by naming a word for each letter, and party hosts can run a category game without a letter die. For a fair game, leave out letters that almost no word starts with, such as Q or X in English and Ğ in Turkish, before the first round.
