Random Letter Wheel — Spin the Alphabet
A random letter wheel preloaded with the full A–Z alphabet. Edit, hide vowels or consonants, spin without bias.
The Random Letter Wheel picks a single letter from the alphabet — useful for category games like Scattergories, vocabulary warmups, or anything that needs an unbiased starting letter. The default is 26 uppercase letters; use Cards mode to hide vowels, switch to lowercase, or add accented letters like Ñ, Ü, or Ç for non-English games.
How to use it
- Spin straight away, or hide vowels/consonants in Cards mode.
- Add Ñ, Ü, Ç, or any letter your language needs.
- Use Elimination mode to walk through the alphabet without repeats.
- Share the URL so the whole table sees the same letter when it lands.
Use cases
- Scattergories or category-list games where each round needs a new letter.
- ESL classes spinning a letter for vocabulary warmups.
- Spelling bees picking a letter for the next bonus round.
- Drawing prompts where the letter inspires the doodle.
- Code names: spin to pick a starter letter for project codenames.
- Family road-trip games — “name a country that starts with…”.
Frequently asked questions
Does the random letter wheel include numbers or punctuation?
No — only the 26 letters A–Z by default. Add numbers or special characters by typing them as new entries; the wheel will include them in the spin.
How do I make a wheel with only consonants?
Switch to Cards mode and hide A, E, I, O, U with the eye icon. The wheel re-renders without them and probabilities re-balance.
Can I use lowercase letters?
Yes — edit each entry to lowercase or paste your own a–z list. Mixed case also works.
Is the letter pick truly random?
Yes. The wheel uses crypto-secure randomness with rejection sampling — each letter has exactly 1/26 probability (3.85%).
Can I include Spanish or French letters like Ñ or Ç?
Yes — type them in. The wheel supports any Unicode character that fits in the segment label (up to 60 characters per entry).
