## What it means

A survival word and a good drill. Every letter in WATER sits in the top three layers of the Morse tree, so it is the longest genuinely useful word a learner can send after four days of the seven-day plan — and the first one that feels like a real message rather than an exercise.

## Letter by letter

| Character | Code | Spoken |
| --- | --- | --- |
| W | `.--` | di-dah-dah |
| A | `.-` | di-dah |
| T | `-` | dah |
| E | `.` | dit |
| R | `.-.` | di-dah-dit |

A space separates letters and a slash separates words.
