How to use it
Press Draw a letter. The board flips through the alphabet like an old train-station sign and stops on a letter. With No repeats on, each letter comes out only once; the used ones are marked in the list below. Press Reset to start a new game.
Games that need a random letter
Scattergories, Stop (also called Basta or Tutti Frutti), word chain games, "name an animal that starts with…", spelling practice in class, and improv warm-ups.
Hard letters
Turn on Skip hard letters to remove K, Ñ, Q, W, X, Y and Z, which have very few words in most categories. Choose the Spanish alphabet to include Ñ.

Does it remember the letters already used?
Yes, on this device, so you can close the page and keep playing. Press Reset to clear them.
