Morsle
A new five-letter word every day, sent as one unbroken Morse signal: no gaps between the letters, so where one ends and the next begins is part of the puzzle. Six guesses. Green is the right letter in the right place, yellow is in the word somewhere else.
The word, as one unbroken signal (no gaps between letters):
How to play
- Look at the signal, or play it. It is the whole word, letters run together.
- Type a five-letter word and press Enter. Each letter turns green (right place), yellow (in the word, elsewhere) or grey (not in the word).
- Use the colours and the signal together: a green E at the start means the signal starts with a lone dot.
- The signal is the only clue, so any real word that sends exactly the same dots and dashes counts: AUDIO and RADIO are both .-..--..---.
- Everyone gets the same word on the same day. Share your result: it shows the colours, never the letters.
- Want more? Practice mode gives a new random word each time.
Why no gaps?
Normally a gap of three dots separates letters. Without it, “...---...” could be SOS, or VMS, or IJS. Working out where the letters fall teaches you to see each character as a shape, which is exactly how fast operators read.
