Random number between 1 and 6

No die at hand? This generator stands in for one, with the range set from 1 to 6, the numbers of a classic die. Press Generate or the Space bar to pick one. Each number has a 1 in 6 chance, about 16.7%, exactly like a fair six-sided die.

When a number from 1 to 6 helps

  • No die at hand. Play a board game or a kids’ game without the dice.
  • Several dice. Choose 2, 3 or 5 numbers and leave No repeats off: each number is drawn on its own, like separate dice.
  • Six options. Number six choices, like games, snacks or chores, and pick one.
  • Probability lessons. Pick many times and count how often each number appears. Over many picks, each one comes close to a sixth.

How it works

  1. The range is set

    The lowest and highest numbers for this page are already in the sentence at the top, and both can come up. Nothing to type before your first pick.

  2. Pick your number

    Press Generate or the Space bar, or tap the number. The reel rolls like a slot machine and stops on the result.

  3. Change it if you need to

    Tap how many numbers you want in the sentence to get up to 20 at once; No repeats keeps them all different. Tap either end of the range to type a new one.

Questions

Is a random number from 1 to 6 the same as rolling a die?

For the odds, yes. Each number from 1 to 6 has a 1 in 6 chance, like a fair six-sided die. The dice roller shows actual dice if you prefer.

How do I get several numbers from 1 to 6, like several dice?

Tap “a number” and choose 2, 3 or 5 numbers. Leave No repeats off so a number can come up more than once, as with real dice.

How many picks does it take to get a 6?

On average, 6. Nothing is guaranteed, though: each pick is independent, and the chance of at least one 6 in 4 picks is about 52%.

Does one number from 1 to 6 come up more often than the others?

No. Over many picks, each number comes up close to a sixth of the time. Short runs can look uneven, and that is normal.

Is the random number generator free?

Yes. It is free to use, funded by advertising, with no account and no app to install.
