Random Letter Generator
Pick a random letter from A to Z — or several, with no repeats. Uppercase or lowercase, vowels, consonants or no hard letters.

26 letters in this set · no repeats until every letter has been drawn
Pick your filters (or leave them on All) and press Generate.
- O · NATO: Oscar
A fair letter, every time
This random letter generator works like a bag of alphabet tiles: each draw is random, and a letter only comes back once the whole set has been used. Draw one letter for a round of Scattergories, five letters for a word-building challenge, or all 26 for a shuffled alphabet.
Options
- All 26, vowels, consonants, or no hard letters (Q X Z J K V Y).
- UPPERCASE or lowercase — handy for early-reading practice.
- Each letter shows its NATO phonetic word (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie…) so it's clear when read aloud.
Classroom and game ideas
- Categories — draw a letter, then everyone names an animal, a country and a food starting with it. Pair it with the random animal generator to check answers.
- Alphabet hunt — young learners find an object in the room that starts with the letter.
- Story challenge — every sentence must start with the next drawn letter.
Frequently asked questions
How does the random letter generator work?
Press Generate to draw a letter from A to Z. Every letter has the same chance, and a letter won't come up again until all the letters in your set have been drawn — just like pulling tiles from a bag.
Can I leave out hard letters like Q, X and Z?
Yes. Choose 'No hard letters' to drop Q, X, Z, J, K, V and Y, which start very few English words. That keeps games like Scattergories and categories fair.
Can I draw several letters at once?
Yes — choose how many (up to all 26) and the letters come out in random order with no duplicates. Draw all 26 to get a shuffled alphabet.
What can I use random letters for?
Word games (Scattergories, Categories, Stop/Basta), alphabet practice with kids, spelling bees, naming challenges, random initials for characters and picking a letter for 'a word that starts with…' prompts.
