Tips for a better score

  • Farnsworth means the characters are always sent briskly and only the gaps stretch, so the shapes you learn never change as you slow the drill down.
  • Every correct character scores ten points, plus your speed in words a minute, plus the number of characters you have unlocked. A wrong answer takes nothing away.
  • A new character arrives only when your last thirty Listen answers are at least nine in ten right, and nothing you have already earned is ever taken back.
  • In Send the tolerance widens as the speed drops. Start at five words a minute, get the three-to-one shape of a dah right, then push the speed up.

About Morse Key

Morse Key is a telegraph desk: a brass key, a signal lamp and a cream paper tape that prints every mark as it is sent. Three drills share one code table. Listen sends a single character and you answer it, with new characters arriving in Koch order — K and M first, one more added each time your last thirty answers hold above nine in ten. Words sends whole lines to copy, in any letter rather than only the ones you have unlocked. Send hands you the key: hold Space or press the brass knob, and your dits, dahs and gaps are measured in milliseconds and read back to you. Speed runs from 5 to 25 words a minute with Farnsworth spacing, and there is a daily drill of twenty characters that is the same for everyone.
