MorsePadAbout "Alexander" in Morse code
The name Alexander has 9 letters, which become 22 Morse symbols: 14 dits (short signals) and 8 dahs (long signals). Sent at a standard 20 words per minute it takes about 4.6 seconds; at a beginner pace of 10 WPM, roughly twice that. The longest letter is L (.-..), and each letter is separated by a short pause.
It makes a personal gift: a bracelet spelling Alexander needs 22 beads — 14 small round ones for dits and 8 long ones for dahs — plus 8 spacer beads between letters. The same pattern works as a minimalist tattoo, an engraving on a ring or watch, a knitted or cross-stitched design, or a hidden message on a card.
