How random are the letters?

We use cryptographically secure randomness when available. Each letter A-Z has an exactly equal 1/26 (approximately 3.85%) chance of being selected.

Can I generate multiple letters at once?

Yes! Choose 1, 3, 5, or 10 letters at once for word games or creative activities. All letters are generated simultaneously with equal probability.

Is this good for Scrabble practice?

Absolutely! Use it to generate random starting letters for word games, vocabulary practice, or creative writing prompts. Great for Scrabble, Boggle, or any word game.

Are lowercase letters available?

The generator shows uppercase letters for clarity, but you can easily convert them when copying. The result works for any case-insensitive application.

Can I use this for license plate games?

Yes! This is perfect for the "find words starting with this letter" road trip game. Generate a letter and challenge everyone to spot something starting with it.

Does it include special characters?

No, this generator focuses on the 26 standard English letters (A-Z). For numbers, use our Random Number Generator. For special characters, try our Password Generator.

How can I use this for teaching?

Teachers use random letters for spelling bees, vocabulary challenges, "name something starting with..." games, and creative writing prompts. The visual Scrabble-tile design engages students.

Is the distribution truly uniform?

Yes, unlike Scrabble tiles where E appears more often than Z, our generator gives every letter an exactly equal chance. This makes it fair for competitive activities.
