Yes, letter beads can be used as a random number generator to create a one-time pad. However, it is important to ensure that the beads are truly random and that the selection process is unbiased. This can be achieved by using a large number of beads and mixing them thoroughly before selecting each bead.
Alternatively, you can use an online one-time pad generator such as the one provided by Fourmilab 1. It generates one-time pads or password lists in a variety of forms and is based on a high-quality pseudorandom sequence generator. You can select the format of the pad and press “Generate” to create the pad in the text box. You can then copy and paste the generated pad into another window to use as you wish.
I hope this helps!

Hint: do NOT think that ANY 'random' number generating program is going to give you an unbreakable answer; espically one that it on line!!!
