MorsePadAbout "Help" in Morse code
The phrase Help has 4 letters, which become 13 Morse symbols: 10 dits (short signals) and 3 dahs (long signals). Sent at a standard 20 words per minute it takes about 2.4 seconds; at a beginner pace of 10 WPM, roughly twice that. The longest letter is H (....), and each letter is separated by a short pause.
For a bracelet or necklace you need 10 small beads for dits, 3 long beads for dahs and 3 spacers between letters — 16 beads in all. 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.
