A long one to send, which makes it good practice.

Tap it back

A short tap is a dot, a longer hold is a dash. Pause between letters.

Tap anywhere here. Hold for a dash.

How to send it

  • By sound. A short beep for a dot, a beep three times as long for a dash.
  • With a flashlight. Short flash, long flash. Keep the light off for the length of three dots between letters and seven between words.
  • By tapping. Taps cannot be long or short, so leave a short pause after a dot and a longer one after a dash, or tap once for a dot and twice quickly for a dash.
  • On a bracelet. A round bead for each dot, a long bead for each dash, and a spacer between letters. Happy birthday needs 25 round and 16 long beads.

How long it takes

Happy birthday is 141 timing units long. That is about 33.8 seconds at 5 words per minute, a beginner's pace, and 11.3 seconds at 15.
