Hello in Morse Code

Hello in Morse Code
Letter	Morse Code	Tip
H	....	Think of 4 quick taps: dot-dot-dot-dot
E	.	Just a single dot — the shortest letter
L	.-..	Dot, dash, dot, dot – tap long once in the middle
L	.-..	Repeat the same as before
O	---	Three long dashes – like a slow "hello"

This sequence is read as short and long signals (dots and dashes), often spaced slightly between letters when spoken, flashed, or written.
