Questions

How does the random letter generator work?

Choose how many letters, which kind, and whether a letter may repeat. Each press gives a new draw, so it works as a random letter picker for games too.

Is every letter equally likely?

Each letter has the same chance. The common-letter option draws them as often as they appear in English words, so E comes up most and Q least.

What is it for?

Category games where a letter starts every answer, word games, spelling practice and picking at random.
