Generate printable bingo cards with custom words, numbers, or images with randomized placement.
Generates a printable 5-by-5 bingo card from your own words, numbers, or images, with the items shuffled into random positions on each card. You paste a list into the editor, choose word, number, or image mode, and the card renders on screen ready to print; number mode follows the standard 75-ball scheme in which each column draws from a fixed 15-number range. Everything runs in the browser, so your list never leaves your machine. The thing users most often get wrong: the center square is a free space, so a card fits only 24 items, and a 25th pasted word will not appear.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Paste these 24 words, one per line: Apple Banana Cherry Date Elderberry Fig Grape Honeydew Jackfruit Kiwi Lemon Mango Nectarine Orange Papaya Quince Raspberry Strawberry Tangerine Ugli Vanilla Watermelon Xigua Yuzu
Expected output
A printable 5x5 card whose center square is marked FREE, with the 24 words each placed exactly once in the remaining cells. One possible layout (placement is randomized, so any arrangement can appear): Kiwi | Lemon | Mango | Nectarine | Orange Papaya | Quince | Raspberry | Strawberry | Tangerine Ugli | Vanilla | FREE | Watermelon | Xigua Yuzu | Apple | Banana | Cherry | Date Elderberry | Fig | Grape | Honeydew | Jackfruit
A 5x5 card has 25 cells; the free center leaves 24, which is exactly how many words you pasted, so every word appears once and nothing is dropped. Placement is shuffled afresh for each card, so layouts differ from card to card, but an identical match is not impossible - the tool's own guidance is to regenerate one of the cards if two ever come out the same.
A valid card has 25 cells, but the center is conventionally a free space, so the tool fills 24. In word and image modes, your entries are placed one per cell at random positions. In number mode it follows the 75-ball layout: columns B, I, N, G, O draw only from 1-15, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60, and 61-75, which keeps a card playable against a standard sequence of called numbers.
Every card is generated from an independent shuffle, so identical layouts are possible in principle but rare in practice; if two cards do come out the same, the tool advises regenerating one of them. The pasted list is the only source of items: an entry typed twice can land on the card twice while another entry is absent, and a list shorter than 24 items leaves empty cells. Check the finished card, not the input list, before printing.
The free center is standard bingo: it gives every player one guaranteed square and lowers the odds of a no-winner game. Because that cell is taken, a card holds 24 items, not 25. If you pasted 25 words, one is not on the card, so trim the list to 24 before printing.
You can, but if a single winner matters, you should not: identical cards mean both players mark the same numbers and win at the same moment. Generate each card separately, since placement is re-randomized every time, and if two cards ever come out the same, regenerate one of them.
