How a 1–75 bingo card is laid out
| Column | Numbers | Numbers on a 5 × 5 card |
|---|---|---|
| B | 1–15 | 5 |
| I | 16–30 | 5 |
| N | 31–45 | 4, plus the free space |
| G | 46–60 | 5 |
| O | 61–75 | 5 |
Because each column draws its numbers from its own range, players only need to check one column when a number is called, like "G-52." Every card from the maker is different, and each has a card number in the corner.
Smaller number cards
| Card size | Numbers used | Free space | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 × 5 | 1–75 | Yes | Classic bingo for all ages |
| 4 × 4 | 1–60 | No | Faster games, early number practice |
| 3 × 3 | 1–45 | Yes | Young children, very quick rounds |
Custom letters across the top
Replace B-I-N-G-O with your own word, one letter per column, like BRIDE, PARTY, or SANTA. The column ranges stay the same, so the caller simply says the new letter: "R-22" on a BRIDE card. The free caller uses your letters automatically when you choose Host this game.
Calling and checking number bingo
- Printed caller sheet: every number grouped by column with a checkbox.
- Free caller: random calls with no repeats, read-aloud, auto-call, a presentation screen for a TV or video call, and rounds with different patterns.
- Card checker: type a card number to see that card with called numbers highlighted and whether it has bingo.
- Phone cards: create a join link so players can get their own numbered card on their phone, alongside printed cards.
