## How to use the random letter generator

A **random letter generator** picks a letter of the alphabet at random, with every letter equally likely. This one has three modes — pick the one that fits:

- **Letter picker** — one big random letter at a time. Tap *Pick a letter* (or press Space), tap *Hear it* to hear it read aloud, and see your history below.
- **Alphabet wheel** — spin a colorful letter wheel, great on a classroom screen or at a party.
- **Letters & strings** — many random letters at once (with or without repeats), or random strings of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Options work in every mode: choose from 10 alphabets, pick vowels, consonants, or your own letters, switch between uppercase and lowercase, tick **No repeats** to use each letter only once, and tick **Skip hard letters** for word games.

## Pick a random letter for word games

A **random letter picker** is the heart of many word games. Some favorites:

- **Categories games** — everyone writes a word for each category starting with the chosen letter. Play our free [Categories Game](https://linguaholic.com/games/categories-game/) online.
- **Stop / Tutti Frutti** — race to fill in a country, a name, an animal, and a food with the letter, then shout “Stop!”
- **The alphabet game** — name something from a topic that starts with the letter, or spot something that starts with it on a road trip.
- **Drawing and story games** — draw or tell a story about things that start with the letter.

### Which letters should you skip?

Very few English words start with Q, U, V, X, Y, or Z, so many word games leave them out of the letter draw. Tick **Skip hard letters** to do the same, and **No repeats** so every round gets a new letter.

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I pick a random letter?**

Tap Pick a letter (or press Space) and a random letter appears in large type. Tap it again for another. You can hear each letter read aloud, see a history of past letters, and tick No repeats so every letter comes up only once.

**Can I spin a letter wheel?**

Yes. Switch to Alphabet wheel and tap SPIN. The wheel works with every alphabet and your own letters, and with No repeats on, letters that have already come up turn grey.

**Which letters should I skip for categories games?**

Many word games leave out Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z because so few words start with them. Tick Skip hard letters to remove them.

**Can it generate random letters and numbers?**

Yes. In Letters & strings mode, generate up to 100 random letters at once, or random strings of letters, numbers, and symbols of any length — with an option to skip look-alike characters like 0 and O.

**Does it work with other alphabets?**

Yes: English, Spanish (with Ñ), German (with Ä, Ö, Ü, ß), Greek, Russian Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese hiragana and katakana, and Korean Hangul, with letter names or readings shown under each letter.

**Is it truly random?**

Every letter is picked with your browser's secure random number generator, so each letter in the English alphabet has the same 1-in-26 chance. Nothing is sent to a server.

**Can I choose only vowels or my own letters?**

Yes. Choose Vowels only, Consonants only, or My own letters and type the letters you want to pick from.
