Frequently Asked Questions

What games use random letters?

Games like Scattergories, hangman practice, or classroom spelling activities often use a random letter draw.

Are rare letters like Q, X, and Z equally likely to come up?

Yes, every letter from A to Z has an equal 1-in-26 chance on each draw. Some Scattergories-style games choose to exclude Q, X, and Z from play because they're harder to build answers around — if your group does that, just re-roll when one of those letters comes up.

Can I generate all 26 letters at once?

Yes, turn on "No repeats" and set the count to 26 to shuffle the full alphabet.

Is this good for teaching young kids the alphabet?

Yes, teachers often use a random letter as a daily "letter of the day" prompt.

Does this include numbers or symbols?

No, this tool only generates letters A through Z.
