Morse code games

Pick the game that trains the skill you lack. Signal Rain and Morse bingo teach you to name a letter the moment you hear it. Echo and Code sprint train sending. Memory match pairs letters with their codes and has no timer, so it makes a gentle first game. To learn the letters in order, use the Koch course beside the games.

Yes, two. In Signal Rain, letters fall and you key each one in Morse, or name it from its code, before it lands; its pad takes a click or a tap. Code sprint has you send words or letters in dots and dashes, with hints that fade as you learn: a timed round of 30, 60 or 120 seconds shows your speed in WPM, and No clock is calm practice.

Start with Memory match: turn two cards and pair a letter with its code, with no clock running. Snakes and ladders adds a die and a friend, and the escape room turns decoding into an adventure. Away from the screen, print a worksheet with an answer key, or flash notes to each other with the flashlight signaller.

Find the gaps first. A short pause ends a letter and a longer one ends a word, so split the dots and dashes into groups, then look each group up in the Morse code alphabet: .... .. is HI. To skip the work, paste written Morse into the translator, or let a decoder read the sound, light or picture for you.

Yes. Morsle is a daily word puzzle: one five-letter word sent as an unbroken signal, so finding where the letters split is the puzzle. The escape room hides its clues in sound, light, paper and knocks. To print, the worksheet maker makes decoding sheets and secret messages with an answer key, for kids or adults.

Learn each letter as a sound, not as dots and dashes to count. The Koch course starts with two letters at full speed and adds the next when you copy 90 percent of a lesson. Short daily sessions work better than long ones, and a game a day keeps the letters fresh. Picture tricks help some people start: see Morse code mnemonics.

You don't need one. Every game here runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and needs no install, account or payment. Your scores, streak and achievements are kept in that browser, so play on the same device to keep them together.

Yes. Snakes and ladders is for two players, or one against the computer. Morse bingo works on a big screen, with the class marking paper cards as each character plays. The daily challenge gives everyone the same rounds that day, so friends can each play it and compare scores.

Yes. Each day one game takes its turn: Signal Rain, Code sprint, Echo, Memory match, then Pileup. Its rounds are picked from the date, so everyone who plays that day gets the same ones. Start it from Today's challenge at the top of this page, then share your score. Morsle has a new word every day as well, and finished dailies earn two of the achievements.
