How to use the random letter generator

  1. Tap Generate or press the space bar.
  2. Choose how many letters, uppercase or lowercase, and whether to use vowels or consonants only.
  3. Exclude awkward letters like Q, X and Z by typing them in Exclude.

Games to play

  • Scattergories-style: generate a letter, then everyone names a fruit, a country and a film starting with it.
  • Word chains and spelling practice for kids.
  • Creative writing: write a sentence where every word starts with the letter.

Fair letters

flipj uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source browsers use for encryption keys. We also avoid "modulo bias", a subtle flaw where some results come up slightly more often than others. Every result is generated on your device, so nothing you enter is sent to us.

Questions

Can I exclude hard letters?

Yes. Type the letters to skip, such as QXZ, in the Exclude box.

Is every letter equally likely?

Yes, every letter that's allowed by your settings has the same chance.
