FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z missing?

Official Scattergories rules exclude Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z because they have too few common English nouns.

Can I add those letters back if I want a challenge?

Yes! Simply open the Text tab and add Q, X, Z, or any characters you wish.

Is it completely unbiased?

Yes! All 20 slices have identical width and cryptographically uniform odds.
