Need a letter on the spot? Press Generate and this random letter generator gives you one — a single letter from A to Z, chosen with an even chance every time. Pull one for a quick prompt, or a row of several when a game needs a handful, and turn on Unique so the same letter never comes up twice in a run.

A random letter is the engine behind a surprising number of games and exercises. Categories and Scattergories live on it: roll a letter and race to name a country, an animal, and a food that all start with it. Teachers use it for alphabet practice, phonics warm-ups, and "find something in the room that begins with…" hunts. Artists and writers turn it into a constraint — draw an object starting with your letter, or open a sentence with it. Brainstormers use it to break a blank-page stall, since a forced first letter is often enough to shake an idea loose, whether you are naming a character, a band, a baby, or a project.

Filter the draw when the round calls for it. Limit it to vowels for a quick spelling drill, or to consonants when a vowel would make a word game too easy. Leave the filter on All for a straight A-to-Z pull where anything can come up.

Make the output fit the moment. A plain list is fastest when you just need the letter; the grid shows a run of letters at once; and the wheel turns the pick into a spin the whole room can watch, which works well for choosing a starting team or a turn order. Copy a result into a chat or a worksheet, and share a link that carries your filter and count so everyone in a class or a game night plays off the same draw.

It is free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many letters you pull. Whether you are running a word game, setting a drawing challenge, or just need a letter to start something, the next one is a single tap away.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get only a vowel or only a consonant?
Yes. The filter limits the draw to vowels (A, E, I, O, U) or to consonants; leave it on All for a straight A-to-Z pull.
How is each letter chosen?
Every letter has an equal chance on each draw, so you will not keep getting the same few — and Unique keeps a run free of repeats.
What are random letters good for?
Word games like Categories and Scattergories, alphabet and phonics practice, drawing and writing prompts, and picking teams or turn order.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit on how many letters you generate.
