Morse Code Numbers: 0 to 9

Numbers in Morse code follow a clean, regular pattern — which makes them much easier to memorize than the letters. Every digit is exactly five symbols long.

Steps

1. Notice that every digit is five symbols long.
2. For 1–5, start with dots and swap one dot for a dash at each step: 1 is ·———— , 5 is ····· .
3. For 6–0, start with dashes and swap one dash for a dot at each step: 6 is —···· , 0 is ————— .
4. Remember the anchors: 5 is five dots, 0 is five dashes.
5. Practice them in the Daily Challenge until the rhythm is automatic.

The number pattern

1 = ·———— , 2 = ··——— , 3 = ···—— , 4 = ····— , 5 = ····· , 6 = —···· , 7 = ——··· , 8 = ———·· , 9 = ————· , 0 = ————— . Read down the list and you can see each digit trades one symbol from dot to dash.

Why the pattern helps

Because the digits are so regular, you do not have to memorize ten separate codes — just the rule and the two anchors (5 and 0). That frees your effort for the letters, which are less predictable.
