Random Letter Generator Wheel

Start with a complete letter set

All selects A through Z. Vowels selects A, E, I, O and U. Consonants selects the other 21 letters, including Y.

A preset replaces the earlier selection. It is a quick way to return to a complete set after making custom changes. Selecting a set you already have keeps your results and removals.

Include individual letters

Select or clear the checkbox for any letter. For a game using only A, B and C, include those three letters and leave the rest out. A single selected letter is also a valid wheel.

You can add a letter after choosing Vowels or Consonants. The preset does not restrict later checkbox choices. Each included letter counts once, even when its display shows both cases.

Build a smaller set from an empty draft

Clear unchecks the alphabet so you can select a new small set. While nothing is selected, the last applied wheel and round stay in place and an error asks you to select at least one letter.

Select a letter to apply a valid set. Undo discards the empty draft. New round also returns the editor to the applied set and starts that round again.

Type the letters to leave out

Expand Exclude letters and enter English letters together or separated by spaces, commas or line breaks. BCD leaves out B, C and D. Uppercase and lowercase have the same effect, and repeated letters do not exclude anything extra.

The field and grid describe the same selection. After choosing Vowels, the field lists the consonants left out. Removing a letter from that exclusion text includes it again. Press Enter to apply a valid edit, or leave the field. Shift+Enter inserts a line break. The field accepts up to 5,000 characters.

Know when an edit starts a new round

A valid preset or checkbox change applies immediately. Typed exclusions apply on Enter or when you leave the field. If the included letters change, the current results and round removals clear for a new round. Undo restores the earlier selection and round.

An edit with the same effective selection keeps the round. Changing case also keeps it. Settings such as sound, theme and spin speed do not change the selected letters.

Keep the round while fixing an edit

Digits, accented letters and punctuation other than commas are not accepted in Exclude letters. An invalid or empty draft leaves the last valid wheel, results and removals intact. Spin, starting auto-spin, Save, Download and Share need a valid selection.

Correct the field and press Enter or leave it, choose a preset, or use the checkboxes. Undo first discards an unapplied edit. Changing an image or sound does not apply an invalid letter draft. Only the applied setup is saved, so do not rely on reloading to recover unfinished text.

Show uppercase, lowercase or both forms

Use A for uppercase, a for lowercase or Aa for both cases together. Aa is one letter shown in two forms. All still contains 26 letter identities, not 52 separate uppercase and lowercase outcomes.

Changing case preserves results, removals and chances. The wheel, summary and earlier picks in Results follow the new style. Undo can restore the previous display style.

Read the selected and remaining counts

The selected count belongs to your configured alphabet. The remaining count belongs to this round. If you selected 24 letters and two have been picked with winner removal on, Setup still shows 24 selected while the summary shows 22 remaining of 24.

With winner removal on, picked letters remain checked in Setup but leave the available draw pool. They return for New round. Changing the selection makes a new round rather than editing just the remaining pool.

Know what changes a letter's chance

Each available letter has the same chance on the next spin. With all 26 available, that is 1 in 26 per letter. With only the five vowels available, it is 1 in 5. Paired display does not double a letter's chance.

The wheel draws from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure random source. It selects a letter before the animation finishes. Duration, speed, colors, pictures and 2D or 3D do not favor a letter. Repeats and uneven short runs can happen when repeat picking is allowed.

Pick each letter at most once

Turn on Remove each winner after picking to leave earlier picks out of later draws. You can enable it after making picks. Those picked identities leave the pool immediately without clearing Results.

Turn it off to allow picked letters again. Manually removed letters stay out until Undo or New round. In paired display, removing Aa removes the letter A in every display style.

After removal, the wheel redraws with the remaining letters. Read the removed winner in the last-pick summary or Results. It may no longer be shown on the wheel.

Leave out just the picked letter

With the result popup on and automatic winner removal off, choose Remove picked entry. It removes that picked letter from the remaining pool and keeps the result in history. Undo restores it.

Spin again makes another pick. Close and the close icon keep the completed pick and dismiss the popup. Closing does not put a manually removed letter back.

Restore a recent edit or round action

Undo can restore a pick, manual removal, membership edit, case change or New round. For an invalid or unfinished exclusion edit, the first Undo simply returns to the applied selection.

The session keeps up to 10 recent checkpoints. One latest checkpoint is retained across reload. Named saves and downloaded wheel files do not include this Undo history.

Use the selected alphabet again

New round clears the picks and round removals, then makes your configured letters available again. It keeps the chosen case, selection and customization. It does not select All unless All was already your setup.

When no letters remain, the last pick stays visible and further spins stop. Use New round, Undo or a deliberate selection change. This differs from an empty draft, which has not replaced the applied wheel.

Review the picks in the current round

Results shows the newest 100 picks, newest first, with their pick numbers. A Letters round can retain up to 2,000 picks. At that limit, start a New round to continue.

The last-pick summary stays visible on both Setup and Results. Case changes update the displayed form of earlier picks without treating them as different letters. New round clears the list; Undo can restore the prior round.

Run a series of letter picks

Choose Start auto-spin to begin. The control changes to Stop auto-spin. Stop cancels the automatic activity, including an unfinished animation. Completed picks remain in Results. Escape also stops automatic play.

Automatic play stops when no letters remain, the round reaches 2,000 picks, the page becomes hidden or you leave it. A result popup or Customize pauses picks while open. Opening file actions such as Open, Save or Share link stops automatic play. Selection and case edits also stop it.

Set time between automatic picks

In Customize under Motion, set Pause between automatic spins from 2 to 60 seconds. The default is 5 seconds. Spin duration controls the animation separately.

If the result popup is open, close it before the next automatic pick can proceed. Turning Show result popup off lets you follow picks in the summary and Results instead.

Switch the wheel's presentation

Choose 2D for a flat wheel or 3D for a tilted view. Both use the same selection and Spin button. The view control is locked during a draw and while auto-spin is active.

The view returns to 2D on reload. It is not stored in named saves, downloaded files or shared links.

Show the wheel without the controls

Use Full screen in the header to hide the surrounding controls. The picked letter remains below the wheel, including when Show result popup is off. Press Escape to return.

Full screen depends on browser support and permission. It keeps the current alphabet and round. Stop auto-spin before returning to Setup if you need to edit the letters.

Reach the same actions on a smaller screen

Use More when header actions move into the compact menu. New, Open, Save and Share link keep the same behavior. Download has its own header icon. Scroll to the setup controls below the wheel when needed.

Tab moves between controls. Use Space on a focused letter checkbox and the arrow keys on the case radio group. To spin from the keyboard, focus Spin and press Enter or Space. Escape closes ordinary dialogs or exits Full screen. On Setup and Results, Left, Right, Home and End move between the tabs.

Choose a wheel theme

Choose Bright, Ocean or Sunset under Appearance. A theme changes the wheel colors without changing the selected letters, their chances or the round.

Letters does not have per-letter color or weight controls. Use the theme for the whole wheel.

Put a picture in the Spin button

Use the center-image upload to choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 2 MB and no larger than 8,192 pixels in either dimension. The picture is cropped to a square for the center of the wheel.

Remove center image clears that picture. Your letters, Results and removals stay in place. The uploaded image is kept in this browser and can travel in a downloaded wheel file.

Add or remove a wheel background

Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP with the same 2 MB and 8,192-pixel limits for the whole-wheel picture. The image is cropped to a square and replaces the colored slice fills. Choose a picture that leaves the letter labels readable.

Remove wheel image restores the selected theme colors. Neither adding nor removing the picture changes a letter's chance.

Return to the default wheel look

Reset appearance restores Bright and removes the center and whole-wheel pictures. It keeps the alphabet selection, case, results and round removals.

This action does not reset sound or motion settings. Use the specific picture-removal buttons if you only want to remove one image.

Control whether the wheel makes sound

Use Mute in the header or turn off Enable sound in Customize to silence both spinning and winner audio. Volume runs from 0 to 100. At 0 the wheel is muted. Unmute from 0 restores volume 40.

Audio starts only after a Spin or preview gesture. If it stays quiet, check Enable sound, the volume, the selected sound and your browser or device sound settings. No sound starts just because the page opens.

Pick a spinning sound

Under While spinning, choose Click, Drum roll, My audio or Off. Click follows the segment crossings. Drum roll can continue during a longer spin.

Preview spin sound lets you check the selection without making a pick. It changes to Stop preview while active. Preview needs enabled sound and volume above 0. Closing Customize, muting or replacing the sound stops the preview.

Use your own sound file

For My audio, choose an MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A or WebM file up to 5 MB that this browser can play. Uploading does not play it automatically. Wait for the saved filename or correct any playback error, then use Preview.

Custom spin audio plays once at normal speed and ends when the recording or spin ends. Winner audio plays for at most 30 seconds. Remove audio clears that file and returns spinning to Click or the winner sound to Applause. Images and audio are included in Download, but omitted from Share link.

Set the winner sound separately

Under After a pick, choose Applause, Applause 2, Ta-da, Chime, My audio or Off. Turning this sound off leaves your spinning-sound choice available.

Use Preview winner sound to listen without picking a letter. My audio has its own upload, filename and Remove audio action. Both sound previews respect mute and volume.

Write the result heading

Enter a Winner message under After a pick. It can contain up to 300 characters. Leave it blank to use the default Letters result heading.

The message changes the popup heading, not the letter that is picked. A saved wheel or setup link can carry the message, so review it before sharing.

Choose how long the spin lasts

Spin duration sets the total animation time from 1 to 60 seconds. It applies to manual and automatic picks. Pause between automatic spins is a separate setting.

The browser's reduced-motion preference skips the animated spin, idle rotation and celebrations. The letter is still selected. Enabled winner sound can still play.

Choose the turning pace

Spin speed offers Slow, Normal and Fast. It changes how the wheel turns within the chosen duration.

Changing speed does not add or remove letters, weight a result or start a new round.

Keep the idle wheel moving

Slow rotation when ready gently turns the ready wheel before a spin. It is silent and does not select a letter. After a pick, the idle movement stops.

Use New round or New, or turn the setting off and on, to enable idle movement again. Turn it off for a still wheel. Reduced motion also suppresses this movement.

Choose or preview an effect

Choose Confetti 1, Confetti 2, Fireworks, Stars, Color burst or Off. New wheels start with Confetti 2.

Preview celebration shows the effect without making a pick or changing the round. Use Stop preview to end it. With Off selected or reduced motion enabled, the preview explains why no effect plays.

Choose where to read the result

Show result popup opens a dialog after a completed pick. It contains the letter, Spin again, Close and, when available, Remove picked entry.

Turn it off to read the last-pick summary and Results without the dialog. Full screen retains a letter result below the wheel even with the popup off.
