Remembering Z
- It sounds like dah-dah-di-dit. Say it out loud as you listen, and learn the rhythm rather than counting dots and dashes.
- Z has 4 signals: 2 dots and 2 dashes. It takes 11 units of time to send, where a dot is one unit.
- Z is roughly the 26th most common letter in English. Morse code gives the shortest codes to the commonest letters, which is why rarer letters like Z are longer.
