How the game works
You start with just two characters, K and M, sent at full speed. Type what you hear. Once 18 of your last 20 answers are right, a new character is added. It sounds slow at first – that’s the point: you learn each sound as a whole rhythm, not as a count of dots and dashes.
Characters are sent at the speed you choose (20 words per minute by default), with extra space between them so you have time to answer. This is the Koch method with Farnsworth spacing, the combination most clubs recommend.
Tips
- Don’t look at the chart while you play. Listen for the rhythm:
-.-is “dah-di-dah”, not “dash dot dash”. - Ten minutes a day beats an hour once a week.
- If you’re stuck below 90% for a long time, lower the speed a little – but not below about 15 WPM, or you start counting again.
