- 75-ball: classic American BINGO cards with a free center square.
- 90-ball: British-style tickets with three rows and nine columns.
- Custom numbers: any range you like, such as 1–25 on a 5×5 grid (everyone gets the same numbers in different spots) or 1–100 for math practice.
- Word bingo: paste vocabulary words, names, holiday words or baby shower terms. If your list is longer than the squares on a card, every card gets a different mix.
- Printing: A4 or US Letter with 1, 2 or 4 cards per page (90-ball: 2, 4 or 6 tickets). Choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog to get a PDF you can email or print later.
75-ball vs 90-ball bingo rules
75-ball bingo (common in the US and Canada) uses a 5×5 card with B-I-N-G-O across the top. The B column holds numbers from 1–15, I from 16–30, N from 31–45, G from 46–60 and O from 61–75, and the center square is usually a free space. The first player to complete a row, column or diagonal wins.
90-ball bingo (common in the UK) uses tickets with three rows and nine columns. Each row has five numbers and four blanks, so a ticket has 15 numbers. In this generator, the first column holds 1–9, the second 10–19, and so on up to 80–90 in the last column, with numbers increasing down each column. Prizes usually go to one line, then two lines, then a full house (all 15 numbers).
Using the online bingo caller
The Caller tab replaces a ball cage. Each press of Call next number draws one item that hasn’t been called yet, shows it in a big ball and marks it on the board. Undo a mistaken call, turn on Auto to call every few seconds, or enable Read aloud to have your browser announce each call. Go full screen to show it on a TV or projector.
Cards printed with numbers carry a card number and set ID. When someone shouts “Bingo!”, type their card number into Check a winning card and you’ll instantly see whether a line is complete based on the calls so far. Don’t change the settings after printing, or the card numbers won’t match.
Phone bingo: fill in your own board
A popular classroom and party version has everyone fill in a blank board themselves. In Phone bingo, each person types numbers (or presses Fill randomly) or words that fit a topic, then presses Start. Players take turns calling an item; everyone taps that square on their own board. Completed rows, columns and diagonals light up, and when you reach the goal number of lines, the screen shouts BINGO!
Need ideas? Suggest a topic picks one at random: animals, fruits, countries, holiday words, things in a classroom and more. Broad topics are easier for beginners; narrow ones like capital cities make boards overlap more and games more tense.
Ideas for word bingo
- Classroom: spelling words, sight words, math answers (call the question, mark the answer), vocabulary in a new language.
- Holidays: Christmas words (the default list), Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving foods.
- Events: baby shower gifts, bridal shower bingo, conference buzzwords, road-trip sightings.
- Get-to-know-you: “Find someone who…” prompts such as has a pet or speaks two languages.
How cards and calls are randomized
Each card set starts from a 128-bit seed made with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues). The same seed and settings always produce the same set, which is how a card number can be checked later. Calls are drawn uniformly from the items not yet called, so no number comes up more often than another.
Everything runs in your browser. Your cards, word lists and call history are never uploaded.
FAQ
Can I save the bingo cards as a PDF?
Yes. Press Print and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination in the print dialog. On a phone, use the share menu’s Print option and save as PDF from there.
Are all the cards different?
Yes — every card in a set has a different layout. If your word list or number range is too small to make as many unique cards as you asked for, the generator tells you how many are possible.
Why is there no free space on a 4×4 card?
Even-sized grids don’t have a single center square, so the free space is available on 3×3 and 5×5 cards only.
How many words do I need for word bingo?
At least one per square: 25 for 5×5 (24 with a free space), 16 for 4×4 and 9 for 3×3. Adding more words makes cards less alike.
How do I reprint the exact same cards?
Open this page again on the same device and browser: your last settings and card set are still there. Matching set IDs mean identical cards. “Shuffle new cards” switches to a new set.
Can players use their phones instead of paper?
Yes. In Phone bingo, each player fills in their own board and taps squares as they’re called. Their board is saved on their device, so it survives the screen turning off.
