Can a Bingo Card Be 4x4, 3x3, or 5x5?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): A bingo card can be 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 depending on how many words you enter in Word bingo. Entering 8 words creates a 3x3 card, 16 words create a 4x4 card, and 24 words create a 5x5 card with a free centre. You can make any of these sizes with the free generator on this page.

Can I make a 4x4 bingo card with numbers?

The 75-ball option uses a 5x5 grid and 90-ball uses a 3x9 grid. To get a 4x4 grid, choose Word bingo and type 16 numbers or words.

What happens if I enter more than 16 or 24 words?

When you provide more words than squares, each card is drawn with a different mix of your words so no two cards are identical.

How many cards fit on one printed page?

Two cards fit per A4 or Letter page. You can print them right away or save as PDF for later.
