Draw a letter for Scattergories or any game where everyone writes words that start with it. The timer is optional.
How it works
- Choose a timer: off, or from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Turn on Include hard letters to add the rare letters that few words start with.
- Tap the tile or press New letter. On a keyboard, Space or Enter works too.
- The tile wobbles and lands on a letter, and the timer starts. Players write a word for each category until time runs out or someone presses Stop.
Questions
- Is the letter fair?
- Yes. Each letter comes from your browser's cryptographic generator, and every letter still in play has the same chance. The letter is drawn before the tile moves, and the animation only shows it.
- Can the same letter come up twice?
- Not until every letter of the set has been drawn. Then a new round starts from the whole set, and the page tells you. Start over clears the drawn letters at any time.
- How does the timer work?
- Pick 30 seconds, 1 minute, 90 seconds or 2 minutes. It starts when the letter lands, turns red for the last ten seconds and shows Time's up! at the end. Press Stop to end a round early.
- Do I need an account, and does it cost anything?
- No. The letter generator is free, needs no sign-up, has no ads and works on phone and computer.
