Random Letter Generator

Pick a random letter from A to Z, draw vowels or consonants, generate random initials or letter strings, or use the Greek, Cyrillic, Spanish or German alphabet.

What you can do here

How to use the random letter generator

Choose an alphabet, set how many letters you want and press Generate. With No repeats ticked, every letter in a batch is different, so 26 letters gives you the whole alphabet in a random order. To leave letters out, type them into Leave out letters. Results appear as large tiles and as plain text you can copy or download.

Random letter for Scattergories and word games

The Scattergories letter preset leaves out Q, U, V, X, Y and Z, the same hard letters the original 20-sided letter die skips. Use it for Scattergories, Stop (Tutti Frutti), Categories, Boggle warm-ups or the alphabet game on a road trip: draw a letter, set a timer and name a fruit, a city and an animal that start with it.

Random vowels, consonants and initials

Pick Vowels or Consonants for phonics practice and Countdown-style letter rounds. Set Letters in each result to 2 or 3 and tick Add dots for random initials such as J.K., handy for character names, placeholder signatures and anonymised examples. Larger values give random letter strings like QWMTR for codes and puzzles.

Other alphabets

Besides English A to Z you can draw from the Spanish alphabet with Ñ, the German alphabet with umlauts and ß, the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet (useful for maths symbols and fraternity names) and the 33 letters of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. Or type any set of characters into My own letters.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a random letter from A to Z?

Leave the alphabet on English A to Z, set How many to 1 and press Generate. Every one of the 26 letters has the same chance.

Which letters are left out for Scattergories?

The Scattergories preset leaves out Q, U, V, X, Y and Z, the letters the classic letter die does not include. You can edit the Leave out letters box to suit your own rules.

Can I generate the whole alphabet in random order?

Yes. Set How many to 26 and keep No repeats ticked. Each letter appears once in a shuffled order.

Can I generate random initials or letter strings?

Yes. Set Letters in each result to 2 or 3 for initials, tick Add dots for J.K. style, or use a higher number for random letter strings.

Does it support other alphabets?

Yes: Spanish with Ñ, German with umlauts and ß, Greek, Russian Cyrillic, vowels only, consonants only, or any custom set of letters you type in.
