Morse Code Game
Train your ears to decode Morse code patterns.
Listen to the Morse code and guess the word. Speed decreases every 3 attempts.
How to Play
Welcome to the ultimate Morse Code Game, designed for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. Whether you're an amateur radio operator (ham radio) looking to keep your CW skills sharp or a curious learner wanting to decode the secret language of dots and dashes, this game provides the perfect practice environment.
Unlike static charts or visual translators, our game focuses on audio proficiency - the most critical skill for real-world Morse code usage. By listening to words played at varying speeds, you train your brain to recognize rhythmic patterns instantly, moving beyond simple letter-by-letter translation.
Game Features
1. Adaptive Speed
Start at a challenging 20 WPM. If you struggle, the game intelligently slows down to match your pace, ensuring you're always learning, not just frustrated.
2. Audio-First Training
Immerse yourself in high-quality CW tones. Our oscillator generates clear, crisp sounds that mimic real telegraph keys for an authentic experience.
3. Instant Feedback
Get immediate visual cues as you type. Correct letters light up green, helping you confirm what you heard and correct mistakes in real-time.
How to Improve Your Scores
-
Stop Counting Dots – Don't try to count "dit dit dit dah". Instead, learn to hear the rhythm as a whole sound or "song" for each letter.
-
Use Head-Copying – Try to hold the letters in your head and form the word before typing. This "buffer" is essential for high-speed copying.
-
Guess Contextually – If you miss a letter, leave a blank (
_) and keep listening. Often, you can guess the word from the remaining letters.
Why Learn Morse Code?
Invented by Samuel Morse in the 1830s, this binary communication method revolutionized the world. Today, it remains a vital skill for:
- Emergency communication when complex signals fail
- Low-power, long-distance amateur radio contacts (DXing)
- Cognitive training and memory improvement
- A fun, challenging hobby that connects you to history
