How the Quiz Works

Three difficulty levels — each covering different types of Morse knowledge.

🟢 Beginner

All 26 letters A–Z, all 10 digits, and 8 punctuation marks. Easy distractors, free hints, animated at 8 WPM. Decode mode only. No timer. Best for new learners.

🟡 Intermediate

Same 44 characters but with confusable-pair distractors (E vs I, K vs C). Adds 4 essential prosigns: AR, SK, BT, KN. Encode mode unlocked. 12 WPM. Hint costs a point.

🔴 Advanced

All 10 prosigns, top 20 Q-codes, and 20 common Morse abbreviations (CQ, DE, 73…). Q-code questions test meaning not pattern. Speed mode unlocked. 15 WPM. No hints.
