Letter by letter

Read aloud: dash dash, dash dash dash, dash dash.

Two long letters around a longer one: dash dash, dash dash dash, dash dash. All dashes, no dots.

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.
  • 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. Mom needs 0 round and 7 long beads.

How long it takes

Mom is 31 timing units long. That is about 7.4 seconds at 5 words per minute, a beginner's pace, and 2.5 seconds at 15.
