Morse Code for How are you
HOW ARE YOU is a three-word question-greeting. HOW and YOU both start with a heavier letter (H’s dits, Y’s dahs). Encoded: ···· −−− ·−− / ·− ·−· · / −·−− −−− ··− · about 7.5 seconds at 18 WPM.
···· −−− ·−− / ·− ·−· · / −·−− −−− ··−

How to tap “How are you”
- The pattern is ···· −−− ·−− / ·− ·−· · / −·−− −−− ··−. A dit is a short tap or flash; a dah is about three times longer.
- “How are you” is 3 words (H, O, W, A, R, E, Y, U). Gap letters by about three dits, and put a longer slash-sized gap between words.
- At 18 WPM this takes about 7.5 seconds. Give H (····) its full length — it is the slowest character here.
- Press Play to hear How are you, or turn on the lamp and match the flashes.
Easy to mix up
In “How are you”, watch H (····) vs S (···); O (−−−) vs M (−−); W (·−−) vs G (−−·); A (·−) vs N (−·); R (·−·) vs K (−·−); Y (−·−−) vs X (−··−); U (··−) vs V (···−).
Morse Code for How are you — FAQ
What is the Morse code for How are you?

How do you tap or flash How are you in Morse?
Match ···· −−− ·−− / ·− ·−· · / −·−− −−− ··−: short for each dit, about three times as long for each dah. Press Play on this page, then copy the same timing with a tap, whistle, or flashlight.
How long does How are you take to send?
At 18 WPM, “How are you” takes about 7.5 seconds. At 12 WPM the same ···· −−− ·−− / ·− ·−· · / −·−− −−− ··− pattern is slower but the dit/dah ratios stay identical.
Which letter in How are you is hardest in Morse?
