Timing Rules
Morse isn't just symbols—it's rhythm. Here's the proper timing:
| Dot | = 1 unit |
| Dash | = 3 units |
| Within a letter | = 1 unit pause |
| Between letters | = 3 units pause |
| Between words | = 7 units pause |
2-Minute Practice Plan
Listen & Echo
Play the code in the generator above, then immediately repeat it with light or taps.
Chunk It
Train the words separately—I → MISS → YOU—before running them together.
Write It Out
On paper, mark vertical bars: I / M | I | S | S / Y | O | U.
Common Mistakes
Short dashes
If your dashes aren't three units long, M (--) and I (..) blur together.
Lost word gaps
Without the 7-unit gap, I can run into MISS. Exaggerate the pause at first.
Y vs. K confusion
Y is -.--; K is -.-. Make sure your Y has two final dashes.
