Why use a random letter wheel

Typing the alphabet into a blank wheel takes a while; this one has all 26 letters ready, each with an equal slice. Make your own copy to drop tricky letters like Q, X and Z for younger players.

Pick the letter for a round of Scattergories
Families and party guests can spin the starting letter, then race to name an animal, a food and a place that begin with it.
Spin a letter sound for phonics practice
Teachers can spin a letter and have the class say its sound and name three words that start with it.
Start a spelling or vocabulary warm-up
Use the letter as the start of a spelling word, a vocabulary challenge or a quick alphabet race at the start of class.
Spin a first letter for a name idea
Writers and gamers can spin a first letter when naming a character, a pet or a team.

This wheel wears the Wheel-ementary theme: crayons on a chalkboard, push pins and a gold-star arrow. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave out hard letters like Q, X and Z?

Yes. Make your own copy of the wheel and delete any letters you do not want to play with.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Pick your letters” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
