Random Letter Wheel — questions people ask
Can I load the full A–Z alphabet at once?
Yes. Click the "A–Z (all)" preset above the wheel to load all 26 letters instantly. "Vowels only" and "Consonants only" load those subsets in the same click.
Can I exclude certain letters?
Yes. Remove any letter in the entries panel with the × button, and the remaining letters immediately split the wheel evenly between them. Setting a letter’s weight to 0 keeps it in the list, greyed out, but off the wheel.
Can I use uppercase and lowercase letters?
Yes. There is a "Lowercase a–z" preset, and you can mix cases freely by typing or pasting your own list into Bulk Edit.
Is each letter equally likely?
Yes, by default. If you would rather reflect real English letter frequency — where E turns up far more than Q — give the common letters a higher weight and the wheel will show those wider slices.
Can I spin through all 26 letters without repeats?
Yes. Turn on Auto-remove Winner in Options. Each spin removes the letter it picked, so the wheel works through the alphabet in a random order with no repeats until it is empty.
