Explore the World of Morse Code

Morse code, invented by Samuel Morse in 1838, revolutionized long-distance communication and remains vital today in aviation, amateur radio, and emergency situations. This elegant system of dots and dashes can be a fun skill that connects you to communication history while training your brain in pattern recognition.

Progress Tracking

Visual feedback shows your progress for each letter. The system adapts to focus on characters you find challenging.

About Morse Code

Morse code was developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for use with the electric telegraph. Each letter and number is represented by a unique sequence of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes).

Despite being nearly 200 years old, Morse code remains relevant today:

  • Amateur Radio: Ham radio operators worldwide use Morse code (CW) for long-distance communication
  • Aviation & Maritime: Navigation beacons still transmit identification in Morse code
  • Emergency Communication: The universal distress signal SOS (· · · — — — · · ·) is recognized globally
  • Accessibility: Morse code enables communication for people with certain disabilities

Tips for Learning

  • Practice regularly: Short, consistent sessions are more effective than occasional long ones
  • Learn by sound: Associate each letter with its rhythm pattern, not visual dots and dashes
  • Start at a comfortable speed: 15 WPM is a good starting point for most learners
  • Don't count: Try to recognize patterns instantly rather than counting dots and dashes
