Random Bingo Card Generator

Printable bingo cards -- the classic numbered 75-ball layout, or your own words for buzzword and road-trip bingo. One card or a hundred.

How is a bingo card laid out?

A standard 75-ball bingo card is a five-by-five grid under the letters B, I, N, G and O, and each letter's column draws from its own band of fifteen numbers: B from 1 to 15, I from 16 to 30, N from 31 to 45, G from 46 to 60 and O from 61 to 75. The centre square is usually free. That banding is what makes a card a bingo card -- twenty-five numbers picked from 1 to 75 at large would let one column fill up with numbers from the sixties, and a called line would be almost impossible.

About this generator

Generate printable bingo cards -- either the classic numbered 75-ball layout, or your own words for buzzword bingo, road-trip bingo, a baby shower, or a lesson. Make one card or a hundred, each drawn independently, with the free centre square optional.

Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.

What people use it for

Print a set for a party, a fundraiser or a classroom; run meeting bingo with your team's favourite phrases; make a road-trip card for the back seat; or produce a stack of cards for a bingo night without buying any.

How it works

Numbered cards are built column by column, each column sampling without replacement from its own band of fifteen -- so every card is a valid bingo card rather than twenty-five numbers in a grid. Word cards draw from your list the same way, so a list longer than twenty-four gives every card a different selection. All of it uses your browser's cryptographically secure randomness, and your word list never leaves your device.

Common questions

Are these real bingo cards?

Yes -- the standard 75-ball layout, with B drawing from 1 to 15, I from 16 to 30, N from 31 to 45, G from 46 to 60 and O from 61 to 75, no number repeated on a card, and a free centre square unless you turn it off.

Can I use my own words instead of numbers?

Yes. Switch to "Your own words" and paste a list. You need at least 24 entries with a free centre, or 25 without. A longer list is better: every card then draws a different selection from it.

How many cards can I make at once?

Up to 100, each generated independently. Use your browser's print command to put them on paper -- the sidebar and the surrounding page are left out of the printout.

Will two cards ever come out the same?

For numbered cards, effectively never -- there are more possible cards than there are atoms in a person, so a repeat is not something you will see. With a word list of exactly 24, every card necessarily holds the same 24 words, arranged differently.
