“HOPE” in Morse Code

H is four dots — the letter learners either love or dread — followed by the long roll of O. HOPE packs the extremes of the code into four letters, which is exactly why instructors assign it.

Letter by letter

To key it right, hold every dash three times as long as a dot. Leave a short three-unit breath between letters; the slash is the long, seven-unit pause between words. Want to hear it slower or flash it as light? Open it in the morse code translator.
