Every card is different
Cards are generated independently, so a set has no duplicates — which matters, because two identical cards in a room means two winners and an argument.
In number bingo each column draws from its own range: B from 1–15, I from 16–30 and so on. That is the standard 75-ball layout, and it is why a caller can say "B-7" rather than just a number.
Word bingo for classrooms and parties
Supplying your own words turns it into a vocabulary exercise, a baby-shower game or a conference-call cliché card. Twenty-four words fills a card with a free centre square; more words means more variety between cards.
The free space is conventional and worth keeping for younger players — it guarantees everyone starts with something.
Frequently asked questions
Are the cards all different?
Yes, each is generated independently. Duplicates in a set would produce two winners from one call.
How many words do I need for word bingo?
Twenty-four fills a card with a free centre. More than that gives greater variety between cards.
How many cards fit on a page?
Two per A4 sheet, sized so both print fully within the margins.
