Random Letter Generator

The Random Letter Generator spins through the alphabet and lands on one letter, A to Z. It's the kind of tool that seems too simple to need, until you find yourself running a word game with kids, prepping a classroom warm-up, or trying to brainstorm something with a forced starting letter and realising you'd been quietly biased toward the letters at the start of the alphabet the whole time. Most users reach for it for word games — Scattergories, Categories, classroom phonics work, scattergories-style party games, road-trip games with kids, and the kind of casual writing prompt that says "write a story where every paragraph starts with the same letter." Teachers use it for early-literacy lessons; product designers use it for creative naming brainstorms; writers use it for forced-constraint writing exercises. Streamers occasionally use it for community word games where chat suggests answers starting with the spun letter. All 26 letters are weighted equally by default, which is more interesting than it sounds. Most natural-language frequency lists have E, T, A, O massively over-represented, so a random A-Z spin will often surface letters most people would forget to pick on their own (Q, X, Z, V, J). That's exactly what makes the picker useful as a creative prompt — it pushes you out of the comfort zone of common letters. If you want to skew it for a younger group, hide the letters they don't yet know; if you want only consonants (or only vowels) for a phonics exercise, edit the wheel and the picker remembers. Save customised letter wheels under "My Wheels" so a teacher can keep a different one ready for each phonics group. The whole tool is mobile-friendly, browser-only, and free.
