Morse Code Alphabet

The Morse code alphabet is A–Z in International Morse. Frequent letters are short on purpose: E is a single dot, T is a single dash, A is dit-dah. Q, J, and Z take longer, which keeps everyday English faster to send.

Morse is not case-sensitive. This chart always shows uppercase. Leave a short gap between letters (a space in text) and a longer gap between words (a slash here). That spacing is what makes a Morse code alphabet chart readable — on paper or on a bracelet.

Easy Morse code alphabet

Start with the short letters. You can already spell SOS and a handful of tiny words before you touch the rest of A to Z.

Next, learn the mirrors: A .- and N -., W .-- and G --.. The full A to Z list sits below. Digits are on the numbers page — every number is five signals, which is why they look longer than most letters.

Necklaces, bracelets, and spacing

Most Morse code necklaces and bracelets use this same alphabet. Stamp or bead one letter at a time. Keep a clear gap between letters or the sequence stops being readable. A larger gap marks a word — the difference between I LOVE YOU and a jumble.

Checking a gift? Decode the beads with the Morse to English tool, or encode a name on English to Morse. The phrase I love you in Morse code is written out letter by letter if that is what you are stamping.

Alphabet FAQ

Each Latin letter has a unique mix of dots and dashes. E is a single dot. T is a single dash. Longer letters such as Q, J, and Z are used less often in English, which keeps everyday words shorter to send.

Can I print a Morse code alphabet chart?

Yes. Use the Print chart button on this page. The printable layout keeps A–Z with dots, dashes, and dit-dah pronunciation, and hides the rest of the site chrome.

Is Morse code on a necklace the same alphabet?

Yes. Most Morse necklaces and bracelets use International Morse. Stamp or bead each letter, leave a clear gap between letters, and a larger gap between words.
