Common questions

How do I draw letters without repeating one I already have?
Set Repeats to Off. Each press shuffles a copy of the selected alphabet and deals each letter at most once. Choose A to Z and a count of 26 for the alphabet in random order. The dim keys show letters not drawn in that batch; the next press starts a new draw.
How do I get several letters at once?
Set How many to a whole number from 1 to 1000, then press Draw. The keys hold at most the 120 most recent letters, and the whole batch is written out in full as text below the controls. Copy uses every drawn letter in order, separated by spaces. Larger or invalid requests show an error instead of a shortened batch.
Can I use only vowels, consonants or a range such as A to G?
Vowels uses AEIOU and Consonants uses the other 21 A to Z letters, including Y. For A to G, choose Custom and enter ABCDEFG; enter ABCDE for A to E. The visible alphabet is the actual draw pool. With repeats off, asking for more letters than that pool holds shows an error.
Can I use my own set of letters?
Choose Custom and type your list. Whitespace and commas separate entries, so ABC and A, B, C are the same set. Digits, punctuation, accented letters and emoji also work. Repeated entries count once after the selected case is applied. Combining marks and joined emoji stay together as characters.
Can I generate random five-letter words?
Choose English words and a Word length from 4 to 8. The bundled list has 2,048 English words selected from the public-domain ENABLE dictionary, including 629 five-letter entries. Starting letter filters that list with one A to Z letter. This draws complete words, rather than joining random letters; the list is a curated subset, not an official game dictionary.
Are the results really random?
The browser supplies cryptographic randomness through crypto.getRandomValues. Rejection sampling maps those values evenly to the available letters or matching words. With Repeats on, each draw is independent and duplicates are possible. With Repeats off, each selected entry appears at most once per batch.
Can I roll alphabet dice here?
Set How many to 1 and press Draw for an equal-probability letter from the selected alphabet. For a die with your own letter faces, enter those letters in Custom. Repeated entries are deduplicated, so the list gives each distinct letter an equal chance; repeated faces do not add weight.
Can I use a letter picker for a category game?
For a category game such as Scattergories, choose your permitted letter list in Custom, set How many to 1 and press Draw for each round. The tool draws only from the list you supplied. It does not provide a branded die, verify a game edition's rules or spin a letter wheel.
What settings does it remember?
Valid settings changed on the main page are saved in this browser. Opening the page only reads them. Preset pages start with their own choices, and edits there last for that visit. Invalid drafts keep the last saved valid field. Drawn letters and words are not saved. If local storage is blocked, draws still work.
Can I use it on a phone or computer?
It is a browser page with touch and keyboard controls. Drawing requires JavaScript and crypto.getRandomValues; there is no weaker random fallback if the browser lacks that source. Copy also needs browser clipboard permission. If copying is refused, the complete batch remains selectable on the page.

Every letter is drawn with the browser's cryptographic random source, so each is equally likely and a draw is not predictable from the ones before it. With repeats turned off the draw is a shuffle: each letter comes out once until the alphabet is used up.
