Use cases
What random letters are good for
The classic use is games. Categories (also called Scattergories) needs a letter everyone builds answers from, and drawing one fairly — rather than letting a player pick — is the whole point. Word games, spelling drills, and improvisation exercises all need the same thing: an unbiased letter with no human thumb on the scale.
Teachers use random letters for phonics practice and handwriting drills, and for the useful classroom trick of picking a letter and asking every student for a word — which surfaces vocabulary gaps fast. Developers use random letters as seed data for testing input fields, sorting, and search.
Uniform randomness is not English
This generator treats every letter as equally likely, which is the right behavior for fairness but is nothing like real English. In actual text, E appears around 12% of the time while Z and Q each turn up well under 0.1% — a difference of more than a hundredfold. That is why uniformly random letters look so obviously artificial, and why frequency analysis breaks simple ciphers so easily.
It also explains a common complaint about letter games: drawing X or Q feels unfair precisely because English gives you so little to work with. Some house rules exclude the rare letters for that reason. The unique option here matters when you need several letters with no repeats — drawing team names or assigning distinct labels — since without it, a run of five letters can easily contain the same one twice.

What does unique letters only do?
It prevents duplicate letters in one result until the available set is exhausted.
Can I generate many letters at once?
Yes. Set the count option up to the allowed maximum.
