Morse Code for No
NO is two dah-led letters: N (dah-dit) then O (three dahs). It is the heavy counterpart of YES. Encoded: −· −−− · about 1.3 seconds at 18 WPM.

Letter-by-letter Morse for No
Every letter in “No” is shown below with its Morse. There is no word slash because this is a single word.

About “No” in Morse
Encoded it is −· −−− — 1 word, 2 characters (N, O), 1 dits and 4 dahs, about 1.3 seconds at 18 WPM.
The slowest letter is O (−−−, dahdahdah). Give it full dah length.

How to tap “No”
- The pattern is −· −−− (dahdit, dahdahdah). A dit is a short tap or flash; a dah is about three times longer.
- “No” is one word of 2 letters (N, O). Gap letters by about three dits; there is no word slash.
- At 18 WPM this takes about 1.3 seconds. Give O (−−−) its full length — it is the slowest character here.
- Press Play to hear No, or turn on the lamp and match the flashes.
Easy to mix up
In “No”, watch N (−·) vs A (·−); O (−−−) vs M (−−).
Morse Code for No — FAQ
What is the Morse code for No?
The Morse code for “No” is −· −−−. That uses N, O.
How do you tap or flash No 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 No take to send?
At 18 WPM, “No” takes about 1.3 seconds. At 12 WPM the same −· −−− pattern is slower but the dit/dah ratios stay identical.
Which letter in No is hardest in Morse?
O is the longest character in “No”: −−− (dahdahdah).
