How to Read the Morse Code Alphabet
Each letter has a unique dot-dash pattern
A dot (·) is a short signal, a dash (−) is a long signal three times the dot's length. Every letter has a different combination — no two are the same.
Common letters have shorter codes
E is just one dot (·), T is one dash (−), A is dot-dash (· −). Samuel Morse designed it so the most-used English letters are the easiest to send.
Letters are spaced, words are separated by /
In written Morse, a space separates letters and a slash (/) separates words. In audio, letter gaps are 3× a dot long and word gaps are 7×.
💡 Learn ETAOIN first
The 6 most common English letters — E, T, A, O, I, N — all have codes of just 1 or 2 symbols. Learn these first and you'll be able to read most words.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest letter to learn in Morse code?
E (·) and T (−) — just a single signal each. S (· · ·) and O (− − −) are also easy, which is why SOS is the distress signal. SOS guide →
How many symbols does each Morse code letter have?
Letters range from 1 symbol (E, T) to 4 symbols. Numbers 0–9 all use exactly 5 symbols. Punctuation can use up to 6.
How do I memorise the Morse code alphabet?
Learn by sound, not by sight. Click each row to hear the letter, then test yourself with the Morse code simulator →. Rhythm mnemonics help too — "Dan-iel" sounds like D (− · ·).
Is Morse code the same in every language?
International Morse (ITU standard) covers the 26 Latin letters and is used worldwide. Some languages add extended codes for accented characters — German uses Ä, Ö, Ü.
