A letter and a category for the class

This is the classic letter game: show a category and a letter, start the timer, and everyone writes answers that fit before time runs out. The wheel draws each letter once before any letter comes up again, then starts a fresh round.

It works for classrooms, family game nights and parties on a projector, smartboard or TV. The letters are drawn with your browser’s random numbers, which is fine for a game; it is not certified randomness and not for gambling or betting.

Put it on a TV

  3. Leave it running. It fits any screen size and asks the screen to stay on.

Questions

How do I play?
Show the category and letter, start the clock and let everyone write an answer. When the timer ends, compare the words and score them.
Why does a letter not repeat?
The wheel draws each letter once before any letter comes up again, so every round uses a fresh letter. Reloading the page starts a new set.
Can I change the categories and letters?
Yes. Pick a Category set and press New category, or type any category you like. The letters, round length and wheel or flick are yours to set too.
