How it works
- Set vowels only, consonants only or the full alphabet.
- Toggle hard letters, lowercase and how many letters.
- Tap Spin and read the letter under the pointer.
Every pick starts from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so each option has the same chance unless you set a weight. The pool behind this tool holds 26 options. How the randomness works.
Ways to use it
Category game round
Spin with Q, X and Z removed, then everyone names an animal, food and city with that letter.
Phonics practice
A kindergarten teacher spins lowercase letters and kids say the sound each one makes. Mix in uppercase later so they learn both shapes.
Name brainstorm
Parents expecting a baby spin a letter and list names that start with it.
Road trip alphabet hunt
Spin a letter and the first person to spot it on a sign wins the round.
Making word puzzles
Pick seven letters with at least two vowels and see who can make the longest word.
Questions people ask
Which letters are vowels?
A, E, I, O and U are the vowels. Y sometimes acts like a vowel, as in gym, but the vowels-only setting uses the main five.
Why remove Q, X and Z?
Few common English words start with them, so they stall word games. Leaving them out keeps rounds moving.
How many consonants are in the alphabet?
There are 21 consonants, the 26 letters minus the five vowels A, E, I, O and U.
Can I get several letters at once?
Yes. Set how many letters and the tool picks them in one go. Ask for seven and you have a starting rack for a homemade word game.
