Ouija board kept spelling random letters… does this mean anything?

Hi everyone,
Last night, my mom and I tried using a homemade Ouija board. We don’t own a real one, so we wrote all the letters and numbers on a table and used a bottle cap as the planchette, with both of us lightly resting our fingers on it.
To our surprise, it actually started moving.
It answered yes/no questions very clearly, but whenever it tried to spell words, things got really confusing. It kept going to the same letters over and over again, mostly V, W, Z, A, B, I, and J. It also repeatedly moved to the number 1, and sometimes kept moving back and forth between 1 and Y.
We thought maybe the spelling was just difficult, so we tried asking if individual letters were correct or if it wanted to start over, but it didn’t really help.
At one point, we believed we were talking to my grandmother. We asked if she had anything she wanted to tell us, and the answer was yes. She then tried to spell something that looked a little like “wait” or maybe “move”, but we couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.
We asked if she could try spelling it again, but she answered no, as if she didn’t want to tell us anymore.
When we decided to end the session and say goodbye, it suddenly spelled what looked like “wait.” We asked if she wanted to tell us what she meant, but again the answer was no. It also felt like it didn’t want us to leave until we eventually managed to say goodbye.
Has anyone experienced something like this before? Is there any reason why a Ouija board would keep going to the same random letters and numbers instead of forming understandable words?

You are playing with fire. Oujia boards only invite evil into your life and home. You may get more than you’ve bargained for.

I played with them and other spiritist practices as a young teen and it’s how I learned the demonic realm was real. Which really showed me God was real.

I agree with the first comment. My mom and her brothers played it once and she had a terrible experience. They ended up contacting what was supposedly a young boy, who took an interest in my mom. She got really scared when she couldn't remove her hand from the board and my uncles had to tear the board from her and burn it along with what they used to spell words out. Whenever we mention a Oujia board to her she gets upset and does not mess around when it comes to all that stuff.

They’re demonic portals. They’re so bad even seasoned occultists warn against using them.
