Frequently asked questions
Why does it exclude Q, V, X, and Z?
Those are the hardest Scattergories letters, so they're left out by default. Turn off easy mode to include them.
Is each letter equally likely?
Yes. Letters are drawn using your browser's crypto.getRandomValues, so the pick is fair across whichever letters are in play.
Does it run online or in my browser?
It runs entirely in your browser, works offline, and never sends anything to a server.
