Word game ideas

  • Categories game — spin a letter, then name an animal, a city and a food that start with it.
  • Spelling practice — spin a letter and list as many words as you can in one minute.
  • Storytelling — every sentence must start with the spun letter.
  • Alphabet scavenger hunt — find an object starting with the letter.

Removing tricky letters

Letters like Q, X and Z have very few common starting words, which can stall a game. Use the "No Q, X, Z" preset, or delete any letter from the list.

Every letter has the same chance

With all 26 letters, each one has a 1 in 26 chance (about 3.8%). In real English, letters are not used equally often — so this wheel is fair for games, not a model of how often letters appear in words.

Questions

Can I use other alphabets?

Yes. Type any letters or characters you like, one per line.

Can I avoid repeating letters?

Yes. Turn on "Remove winner after each spin".

Is each letter equally likely?

Yes, as long as each letter appears once in the list.
