Bingo, called in Morse

  1. The caller sends one letter or digit at a time, in Morse.
  2. If it’s on your card, tap it. A wrong tap adds two calls.
  3. Five in a row, a column or a diagonal is bingo: in as few calls as you can.

How to play

  • Deal a card: 24 letters and digits around a free middle square.
  • Listen to each call, and tap the character if it's on your card.
  • Five in a row, a column or a diagonal is bingo. Fewer calls is better.

Tips

Start with calls every 6 seconds at 15 WPM. Once you hear characters without counting, try every 4 seconds or a faster speed.

Frequently asked questions

About the morse bingo

Yes. Put it on a big screen with calls one at a time, and have everyone mark their own paper cards as each character plays. Or let everyone play on their own device and compare calls.

A character that hasn’t been called can’t be marked, and the wrong tap adds two calls to your count.
