Morsle: daily Morse code word game
Morsle is Wordle in Morse code: find the five-letter word hidden in one unbroken Morse signal, by reading it or by ear. Six guesses, a new word every day.
The word, as one unbroken signal (no gaps between letters):
- 1Read or hear the signalThe whole word, with no gaps between letters
- 2Type a five-letter guessPress Enter, or key each letter in Morse
- 3Read the colorsGreen is right, yellow is elsewhere, gray is out
How to use
- Look at the signal, or press Play the signal and pick a speed. It is the whole word, with no gaps between the letters.
- Type a five-letter word and press Enter. You can also key each letter in Morse: Dot, Dash, then Add letter (“.”, “-” and Space on a keyboard).
- Read the colors: green is the right letter in the right place, yellow is in the word somewhere else, gray is not in the word.
- Use the colors and the signal together until the word fits. Any listed word that sends exactly the same signal counts.
- Share your result (colors, no letters), or press Practice for more words.
What it does
Morsle is a daily word game: everyone gets the same five-letter word on the same day, sent as one Morse signal.
- Read it or hear it. The signal shows as dots and dashes and plays at 10 to 40 WPM.
- Ear mode. Hide the signal and solve by sound alone; it shows when the game ends.
- Type or key your guess. Use the letter keys, or key each letter in Morse.
- Hear each letter as you type with Play letters as you type.
- Wordle colors on the board and the keyboard.
- Stats for the daily game: played, win rate, streak, best streak, a guess distribution and the time to the next word.
- Practice mode gives a new random word as often as you like, without touching your stats.
How it works
In normal Morse, letters are split by a gap of three units (ITU-R M.1677-1). Morsle removes those gaps, so the word arrives as one run of dots and dashes, and working out where each letter ends is part of the puzzle. ...---... is SOS, but it can also be read 191 other ways, eight of them three letters long (IWB, IJS, SMB, SOS, VTB, VMS, VGI, VZE).
Guesses are scored as in Wordle:
- A letter in the right place is green.
- A letter that is in the word elsewhere is yellow, but only as many times as the word still has it unmatched.
- The rest are gray.
Because the signal is the only clue, any word in the list that sends exactly the same signal solves the puzzle and scores all green: AUDIO and RADIO both send .-..--....---, so either solves it. Of the 469 answer words, 27 have such a twin.
The speed follows the PARIS standard: one dot lasts 1.2 seconds divided by the words per minute. At 10 WPM a dot is 120 ms, at 20 WPM 60 ms, at 30 WPM 40 ms and at 40 WPM 30 ms.
A dash is three dots. Start slow, then raise the speed as the shapes become familiar.
The daily word comes from your device's date, so it changes at your local midnight. The puzzle number counts days from 1 January 2026.
Examples
Words, their letters' codes and the unbroken signal Morsle shows:
| Word | Letters in Morse | Unbroken signal | Marks | Also solved by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AUDIO | .- ..- -.. .. --- | .-..--....--- | 13 | RADIO |
| FINAL | ..-. .. -. .- .-.. | ..-...-..-.-.. | 14 | FIXED |
| HENCE | .... . -. -.-. . | .....-.-.-.. | 12 | SINCE |
| WASTE | .-- .- ... - . | .--.-...-. | 10 | WRITE |
| MORSE | -- --- .-. ... . | -----.-..... | 12 | none |
MORSE starts with five dashes: M (--) and O (---) run together, and the same five dashes are also the digit 0. Gray and yellow letters narrow down where the split falls.

About Morsle
What does Morsle mean?
Morsle joins Morse and Wordle: a word game where the hidden word is given in Morse code and you guess it in a few tries, with colors after each guess. On this page the word is sent as one unbroken signal, and you get six guesses.
Is this the same game as morsle.fun?
No. morsle.fun is a separate game by Remote Ham Radio: it plays the word out loud only, gives 21 tries and marks right letters in green. This Morsle shows the signal or plays it at the speed you pick, gives six guesses with Wordle colors, and has Ear mode for playing by sound alone.
Can I play Morsle with the sound off?
Yes. The signal is shown as dots and dashes, so you can solve by reading it. Turn on Ear mode when you want the opposite: the signal is hidden until the game ends, and you solve by listening at 10 to 40 WPM.
How fast is 30 WPM in Morse code?
At 30 words per minute one dot lasts 40 ms and a dash 120 ms, by the PARIS standard (a dot is 1.2 seconds divided by the WPM). That is fast copying, though skilled operators copy at more than 40 WPM. Pick any speed from 10 to 40 under Speed.
