Random Letter Generator

Pick a random letter of the alphabet with one click, or generate whole lists of random letters. Choose letters from the full A–Z alphabet, only vowels, only consonants, or your own custom set, in uppercase, lowercase or random case. When you generate a single letter it is shown in big type so everyone in the room can see it.

Great for games

Word games such as Scattergories, Stadt-Land-Fluss, Boggle-style challenges and "I spy" all start with a random letter. Use the Scrabble rack preset to draw seven letters, or Shuffle A–Z for a random order of the entire alphabet – ideal for turn order or a letter-of-the-day schedule.

For learning and teaching

Teachers use random letters for phonics practice, handwriting drills and alphabet games for young children. Choose vowels or consonants to focus on particular sounds, or add letters of another language in Custom letters, for example the Turkish Ç, Ğ, İ, Ö, Ş and Ü or the Spanish Ñ.

Options at a glance

  • Letters from – full alphabet, vowels, consonants or a custom list (duplicates and spaces are ignored).
  • Case – uppercase, lowercase or a random mix.
  • How many – one letter or up to 10,000.
  • Letters per item – single letters or random combinations like XQ or ABT.
  • No repeats – every letter appears only once (single letters only).

Fair picks

Each letter in the chosen set has exactly the same chance of being drawn. Randomness comes from the secure crypto.getRandomValues function in your browser, so there is no hidden bias toward common letters.

To shuffle the letters of a word you already have, use the Letter Randomizer. For letters mixed with digits, see the Random Alphanumeric Generator.
