    About this tool

    How it works.

    All 26 letters, evenly weighted at just under 4 percent each. No Repeats is the mode to use here: it works through the alphabet without repeating a letter until every one has come up, then resets on its own. That turns one board into a full 26-round game with no bookkeeping on your part.

    Everything is editable. Replace the list with your own, weight an entry by adding x3 after it, or switch draw modes above the entry box. Nothing is saved to a server, so your list stays in this browser.

    What people use it for

    • Starting a round of Scattergories
    • Picking a letter for word games
    • Choosing a random category letter

    Tip

    Delete Q, X and Z if you’re playing a naming game, since they stall most groups and make the round less fun than the other 23 do.
