Click the wheel or press space to spin
Random letter wheel from A to Z for word games
All twenty-six letters are loaded already, so there is nothing to type. One spin hands you the starting letter for the next round.
Word games need a letter to start on, and a host picking by hand keeps landing on the same comfortable few. This wheel arrives with all twenty-six letters on it, so nobody types anything before play begins. Teachers use it for vocabulary drills, groups use it for name-something-beginning-with games, and every spin starts again from the full twenty-six.
How do I spin a random letter?
Press spin, read the letter in the result panel, and start the timer for the round. There is no list to enter because the whole alphabet is already loaded.
- Spin and read the letter
The winning letter shows large in the result panel, and the results tab keeps the letters used so far.
- Set the rule for the round
For example, everyone names one word starting with that letter within thirty seconds, and anyone stuck loses the turn.
- Drop used letters if you want
In advanced settings, set after win to remove so no letter can come up twice in the same session.
Random letter wheel questions
Can I spin only consonants or only vowels?
Yes, delete the letters you do not want before you start and the wheel redivides itself among the rest. Keeping a vowels-only wheel open in a second tab is a common way to run phonics drills without editing the list every round.
How do I avoid hard letters like Q, X and Z?
Remove those slices, or keep them and give them a smaller weight in advanced settings. Weights let a hard letter still appear now and then instead of disappearing from the game entirely.
Does it work on a classroom projector?
Yes. The fullscreen button fills the display and the letters stay readable from the back row. Nothing here asks for an account, so the page is ready as soon as it loads.
