What Letters Are on the Wheel?

Complete Alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

All 26 letters of the English alphabet with equal probability. No weighted odds, no favorites.

What Can You Use the Letter Wheel For?

Scattergories & Word Games

The classic use case. Spin for a letter, then race to name things in categories starting with that letter. Animals that start with K? Countries beginning with P? The wheel makes it fair and fun.

Classroom Activities

Teachers love the letter wheel for spelling practice, phonics lessons, and vocabulary games. Have students name words, find objects, or write sentences starting with the random letter.

Creative Writing Prompts

Stuck on what to write? Spin for a letter and challenge yourself to write a story where every sentence starts with that letter, or create a character whose name begins with it.

Name Games & Icebreakers

Playing “name a celebrity” or doing icebreaker activities? The letter wheel keeps things random and prevents people from picking easy letters every time.

Drinking Games

Playing alphabet-based drinking games with friends? Let the wheel pick the letter instead of going in order. Much more unpredictable.

Learning the Alphabet

Help kids learn their ABCs in a fun, interactive way. Spin the wheel and have them identify the letter, make its sound, or name something that starts with it.
