How to make bingo cards in 3 steps

1. Pick a card type. Word bingo uses your own words or phrases. 75-ball cards have five columns under B-I-N-G-O. 90-ball cards are the 3×9 tickets used in the UK.
2. Add your words, one per line, or start from a ready-made list. A 5×5 card with a free centre needs 24 words. Add more than that, and the cards differ more from each other.
3. Choose how many cards you need, from 1 to 200, and press Make cards. Every card is different and has its own number.

How to play bingo

Word bingo. Each player gets a card. The host calls the words one at a time, and players mark them. The first to mark a full row, column or diagonal shouts “Bingo!” Play on for a full house if you like.

75-ball bingo. The caller reads a letter and a number, such as B-12. B holds 1–15, I 16–30, N 31–45, G 46–60 and O 61–75. The free centre square counts as marked. A line wins first, then a full house.

90-ball bingo. Each ticket has 3 rows and 15 numbers, 5 in each row. The columns go from 1–9 up to 80–90. Players win one line, then two lines, then a full house. In France the same game is called loto.

Run the game with the on-screen caller

Press Start calling. The caller draws a word or number at random and never repeats one. Put it on a projector in full screen: Space draws the next call and Esc closes the view. Auto-call makes a new call every few seconds and pauses when you switch tabs.

When someone shouts “Bingo!”, type their card number into Check a card. The caller rebuilds that card from the game code and shows which squares have been called, so you can confirm the win in seconds.

Ideas for parties, classes and events

• Office parties. Fill the cards with things that happen at every party: a speech, a group photo, someone talking about work. Players mark them as they happen.
• Classes. Review vocabulary with secondary school or university students. Read a definition aloud, and students mark the word it describes.
• Baby showers. Guests mark the gifts as they are opened. Start from the ready-made list or write your own.
• Holidays. Christmas bingo for a family evening or an end-of-term party. The Festive colours print well in black and white too.
• Conferences. Buzzword bingo keeps a long session light. Hand out the cards before the keynote and see who hears “synergy” first.

Are the cards fair?

Yes. Each game gets a code from your browser’s cryptographic random source. Each card is shuffled from that code with a Fisher–Yates shuffle, so every word is equally likely on every square. No two cards in a game are the same, and while your list is long enough, no two cards share the same set of words. The caller draws with the same random source.
