## Understanding Word Spacing in Phrases

In Morse code phrases, words are separated by a longer pause (seven dot durations) represented by the '/' symbol in written form. This spacing is crucial for the receiver to distinguish between words within a phrase. Practice maintaining consistent timing between letters (three dots) and between words (seven dots) to ensure clear, understandable transmissions.
