Master 8 letters with 4-symbol patterns to expand your Morse vocabulary!
Learn the Characters
Click on each card to hear the sound. A dot (·) is a short beep, a dash (−) is three times longer.
The letter L is dot-dash-dot-dot (·−··).
The letter P is dot-dash-dash-dot (·−−·). A symmetric pattern!
The letter J is dot-dash-dash-dash (·−−−). Mostly dashes!
The letter B is dash-dot-dot-dot (−···). Starts with a dash!
The letter X is dash-dot-dot-dash (−··−). A symmetric pattern!
The letter C is dash-dot-dash-dot (−·−·). An alternating pattern.
The letter Y is dash-dot-dash-dash (−·−−). Heavy on dashes.
The letter Z is dash-dash-dot-dot (−−··). Starts with two dashes.
💡 Pattern Analysis
• P and X are symmetric: P (·−−·) and X (−··−) are palindromes.
• C alternates: C (−·−·) goes dash-dot-dash-dot.
• J is dash-heavy: J (·−−−) has three dashes.
• B starts strong: B (−···) begins with a dash.
