Morse Code Alphabet

The full international Morse code chart — every letter, number and the common punctuation marks. Tap the ▶ on any character to hear its sound. When you are ready, put full sentences together in the Morse Code Translator.

Letters A–Z

Numbers 0–9

Numbers follow a tidy pattern: they are all five symbols long. For 1–5 the code starts with dots and gains a dash each time; for 6–0 it is the mirror image, starting with dashes.

How to Learn the Alphabet Fast

Do not try to memorise all 26 letters in one sitting — operators never learn it that way. Learn the short letters first: E (.) and T (-), then the two-symbol family I, A, N, M, then build up. Most people can hold about five new letters a day by sound: say "dit" for a dot and "dah" for a dash — A is "dit-dah", S is "dit-dit-dit". After a week of short daily practice with the play buttons above, you will recognise letters by their rhythm instead of counting symbols, which is how real operators read Morse.

When you can read single letters, move to full words in the Morse Code Translator — type your name, play it back slowly, then speed it up. And learn one pattern by heart before anything else: SOS — ... --- ... — the one signal that could one day matter most.
