How it sounds

Hear the opening dah

6 starts long, then finishes with four short dits.

Reverse of the early numbers

The 6-9 group counts dahs at the start instead of dits.

How to type it

One dash, four dots

Type one hyphen followed by four periods as one five-mark digit.

Do not confuse count with digit

Even though the digit is 6, the Morse character still has five marks.

Avoid mixups

Common number mistakes

Every Morse digit uses five marks, so missing one dot or dash can change the answer.

Dropping a final dit

Missing one of the final dits makes the copied rhythm feel incomplete.

7 has two opening dahs, so count the long marks at the start.
