Morse Code

Morse Code is just a simple substitution code like all the others!

Plain text: 1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9     0

Morse Code is sometimes written with a slash (/) between letters, to stop you from getting the letters confused. A double slash (//) means a break between words.

Example:

SOS = .../---/...
