Common mistakes
Check these details before copying the result into a message, worksheet, gift, or practice drill.
Dropping one L
HELLO has two L letters. If one .-.. pattern is missing, the word is not HELLO.
Adding a word slash
A slash marks a word boundary. HELLO is one word, so a slash inside it would break the spelling.
H is four dits and E is one dit. Keep a letter gap so they do not become one longer run of dots.
