A random letter generator for games and learning

The letter wheel comes filled with all 26 letters of the English alphabet. Spin it to pick a random letter for word games, category games, spelling practice or creative writing prompts.

You can remove hard letters such as Q, X and Z if you want an easier game, or remove each letter after it is picked so it does not come up again.

Letter game ideas

Play a category game where everyone names an animal, country and food starting with the letter. Use it for phonics practice in early-years classrooms, as a warm-up where students say as many words as possible starting with the letter, or to pick a letter for a drawing challenge.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove difficult letters?

Yes. Delete any letter from the entries box, such as Q, X or Z, and the wheel updates instantly.

Can I use letters from another alphabet?

Yes. Replace the entries with any letters or characters you want, one per line.

Is the result really random?

Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) before the wheel starts turning. Every entry has exactly the same chance, and the spin animation simply shows that result.

How do I stop a letter repeating?

Click "Remove winner" after each spin to take that letter off the wheel.
