Morse Code for Thank you
THANK YOU is two words. THANK starts with T (dah) then H (four dits) — a common practice pair — before the slower YOU. Encoded: − ···· ·− −· −·− / −·−− −−− ··− · about 6.0 seconds at 18 WPM.

About “Thank you” in Morse
Encoded it is − ···· ·− −· −·− / −·−− −−− ··− — 2 words, 9 characters (T, H, A, N, K, Y, O, U), 10 dits and 12 dahs, about 6.0 seconds at 18 WPM.
Keep the 1 word gap (shown as /) or “Thank you” collapses into one letter soup.

How to tap “Thank you”
- The pattern is − ···· ·− −· −·− / −·−− −−− ··−. A dit is a short tap or flash; a dah is about three times longer.
- “Thank you” is 2 words (T, H, A, N, K, Y, O, U). Gap letters by about three dits, and put a longer slash-sized gap between words.
- At 18 WPM this takes about 6.0 seconds. Give H (····) its full length — it is the slowest character here.
- Press Play to hear Thank you, or turn on the lamp and match the flashes.
Easy to mix up
In “Thank you”, watch H (····) vs S (···); A (·−) vs N (−·); N (−·) vs A (·−); K (−·−) vs R (·−·); Y (−·−−) vs X (−··−); O (−−−) vs M (−−); U (··−) vs V (···−).
