Pitch angle: “Why E is one dot — Morse is a 19th-century Huffman code.” Pair with the visual timeline.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Most common English letter | E (.) — one dit; shortest Morse character |
| Second most common | T (-) — one dah |
| E + T + A + I share of English text | ~35% (why beginners start here) |
| ITU standard | International Morse — ITU-R M.1677-1 |
| SOS pattern | ... --- ... (not an acronym) |
| Typical beginner target | 15 WPM with Farnsworth 20/10 practice |

MorseCoder describes International Morse as standardized in ITU-R M.1677-1. We do not claim personal amateur credentials on the site. Timing in the browser approximates PARIS-based WPM; it is suitable for education, not metrology.
