A classroom set
Use 5 by 5 word bingo with a free center and at least 24 vocabulary entries. With exactly 24 entries, every card contains the same words in different arrangements. More entries allow different subsets.
Generate up to 50 distinct layouts, then download the batch as a PDF or PNG ZIP. Calling-list exports are included.
Uses your text and local random shuffling. The example is an original list of common fruit names. No external bingo dataset or account is required.
How to use the Bingo Card Generator
- 01
Choose 75-ball number bingo or custom words. Separate custom entries with newlines or commas.
- 02
Choose a 3 by 3, 4 by 4, or 5 by 5 word grid. Odd grids can have a free center. Number bingo uses 5 by 5.
- 03
Enter the batch size and select Generate unique cards. Browse the card previews.
- 04
Choose A4 or US Letter and one or two cards per page. Download the batch PDF, PNG ZIP, selected card PNG, or calling list CSV.
Examples
Classic number cards
B uses 1–15, I uses 16–30, N uses 31–45, G uses 46–60, and O uses 61–75. Each column is sorted. The free center replaces the middle N space when enabled.
A smaller activity
A 3 by 3 custom card with a free center needs eight distinct entries. Print one per page for more reading and marking space. Explain your chosen winning pattern before play.
What unique layouts guarantee
The generator compares complete arrangements and rejects duplicate layouts in the batch. Cards may still share words, word subsets, and winning outcomes. Two players can win on the same call. Adding more entries than the minimum increases variety, but uniqueness does not promise a particular balance of appearances across the group.
Prepare your word list
Entries are trimmed and duplicate comparisons ignore case while preserving the first spelling. Use up to 200 entries with no more than 36 characters each. Commas and line breaks separate entries, so literal commas cannot appear inside a single item. Short words print more clearly than long sentences, especially with two cards per page.
Use the master calling list
The CSV contains all 75 possible number calls or every distinct custom entry, including entries absent from a particular card. It is a complete list, not a shuffled call order. Print it and mark used calls, or shuffle a copy for your event. The generated free center is a card space and is not added as a call.
Print large or compact cards
One card per page offers the largest reading and marking area. Two per page saves paper. PDFs embed browser-rendered card images to preserve the appearance of text supported by your available fonts; text is not selectable. PNG ZIP provides individual images for another layout application. All downloads use the last generated batch, so regenerate after editing words or card settings.
What to know
- At most 50 layouts per batch; distinct layouts can still share winning outcomes.
- 75-ball number bingo only; no 90-ball tickets.
- PDFs contain raster card images; compact cards can make long text small.
Common questions
How many custom entries do I need?
3 by 3 needs nine, or eight with a free center. 4 by 4 needs 16 and has no single center. 5 by 5 needs 25, or 24 with a free center.
Can cards use the same words?
Yes. The complete layout is unique, not necessarily the set of words. With the minimum number of entries, all cards use the same words arranged differently.
Can a number repeat within a card?
No. Each number column draws without replacement from its 15-number range. Custom entries are also selected without replacement.
Can I print a whole set at once?
Yes. Batch PDF exports up to 50 cards on A4 or US Letter. Choose one or two per page. All PNGs ZIP exports separate images; This card PNG exports the selected preview only.
