How separators work for USA learners - Single space splits symbols within words, slash splits words within messages. Hello world encodes five symbols space five symbols with slash between. Decode splits slash first into words then spaces into symbols then maps reverse. Extra spaces collapse to avoid empty symbols across copy paste from PDFs in Dallas to Boston.

Signals and timing basics - Dot is one unit, dash three units, intra-symbol gap one, letter gap three, word gap seven for radio and light practice. Tap copy output on desk, blink flashlight for night trails, or buzzer for classrooms. SOS ... --- ... needs no slash because single word distress call recognized by Coast Guard from Miami to Seattle.

Classroom and game uses - Teachers hide vocabulary as Morse for spelling tests in Ohio. Escape designers print slash codes on props for team solves. Streamers overlay Morse teasers for subscriber hunts. Scouts test five words per minute for badges in Texas troops. History lessons link Civil War wigwag to radio Morse across Gettysburg exhibits.

Privacy and reliability - No network means camp and basement use without signal. Deterministic maps mean same text same code across browsers. Lowercase normalized before encode, decode uppercases for readability. Punctuation like period comma question supported for full sentences.

Limits and pairings - International Morse only without prosigns like SK or non-Latin scripts. Audio playback not included, use copy with tone apps for sound. For binary puzzles pair with binary-to-text after Morse decode across USA puzzle hunts.
