Ever Wanted to Speak in Secret Dots and Dashes?
Remember that thrilling moment in movies when someone taps out a hidden message in Morse code?

What Exactly Is Morse Code?
Morse code is the original text message system—invented by Samuel Morse in the 1830s for telegraph communication. Instead of letters, it uses combinations of short signals (dots ·) and long signals (dashes —) to represent every character in the alphabet, numbers, and even punctuation. Think of it as a musical rhythm for language!
What makes it special?
- Universality: SOS (··· ——— ···) is recognized worldwide as a distress signal.
- Simplicity: It works with sound, light, or touch—perfect for emergencies.
- Nostalgia: From Titanic’s distress calls to WWII spycraft, it’s steeped in history.
- Fun Factor: Send secret notes friends can’t "read" without decoding!
