About the Random Letter Generator
Random letters drive a surprising number of games and classroom activities. Scattergories needs one letter per round. Word games need a rack of letters with a workable vowel ratio. A teaching exercise needs a letter nobody can predict. Drawing them from a bag works until you want to control the mix.
This draws letters with the controls those uses actually need. Vowels and consonants can be included, excluded or balanced to a ratio, which is what makes a letter rack playable rather than a run of six consonants. Repeats can be forbidden. Case is your choice. And there is a Scrabble-weighted mode, which draws letters at the frequencies the game uses so a practice rack behaves like a real one.
Key features of the Random Letter Generator
Scrabble tile weighting
Draws at the real frequencies, so E comes up twelve times more often than Z and a practice rack behaves properly.
Vowel ratio control
Two or three vowels in seven is the playable range, and the control keeps draws inside it.
No-repeat mode
Each letter drawn only once, which is what a "pick a letter" game needs.
Case choice
Upper, lower or mixed, depending on what the activity calls for.
Secure randomness
Draws use the browser's cryptographic source, and each is independent of the last.

Frequently asked questions
Drawing letters at the frequencies of the real tile distribution, so E appears twelve times more often than Z. It makes a practice rack behave like one from the bag, which even weighting does not.
Two or three out of seven is the playable range. Fewer and there is nothing to build on; more and you cannot form long words. The vowel ratio control keeps draws inside that range.
Yes. With repeats off, each letter can be drawn only once, which caps a draw at 26 letters and is what a "pick a letter" game usually wants.
It uses the browser's secure random generator where available. Each draw is independent of the last, so a letter that just came up is exactly as likely to come up again.
