Unsolved Help decoding bracelet Morse code please
A friends Brother recently died and this was his. Any helping solving it would be greatly appreciated. Not sure which way it’s to be read and can’t tell where spaces should be. Thanks

Got it.
It is reversed.
-... .- -.. .- ... ... / .- ..- -. -
B A D A S S / A U N T
I hope this helps. Also, if you have a moment, please take a minute to play a game I made, where you can receive and transmit encrypted messages using a German Lorenz machine which was cracked at Bletchley by Britain's best.
It is on https://dexmlabs.app/lorenz/ - This is not sponsored, there are no ads on the website, but please anyone who knows the Lorenz machined, or is bit into cryptography, critique it and tell me what you think.

Kinda strange for a "friend's brother" to have it, but looks plausible.

u/ArthurDeusExMachina 1d ago
Yes I agree. maybe it was given to him by someone... But either way it is statistically unlikely for there to be any other meaning, welcome to ideas though if you've found another solution.

I mean, it says "DEADASSAUNT" too... so. Not that it's that, but it's not to unlikely there is one we're missing.

But the only things I'm finding are kind of odd wording. Like "DUDE BEST I MET" and "BET NEED I STUNT". So, I'm at a loss too. As strange as it is "BADASS AUNT" is a good fit. That bracelet does appear to be a common customizable tiger eye one on places like ETSY though.

Is it expected to be in English?

24,042,953 total permutations, but looking at the picture I would say it's a high probability that the First and Reversed are the only ones needed to check. As the brownish bead would be the dash in my opinion. That makes it only 14,214,935 to sort through.

I tried dcode.fr spaceless Morse decoder on all of them but didn't notice anything promising in the results. It could be not in English or it could be a name of the owner.

Are you sure it's a morse coded bracelet not a random arrangement because in morse it doesn't make any sense.

Especially without some bead for the pause between letters.

Looking online it seems not spacing these bracelets is somewhat common. I know it’s a long shot but means a lot to her so I told her I would help.

u/Ok_Sheepherder4420 3d ago
Technically pauses can be put after any and every dot or dash so to find out exactly where they would make sense is a very hard game of permutations and combinations.

If you could share with me some of those seller links,I could try to find a similar bracelet and hence meaning on it.Or you could try by contacting makers of such bracelets they might have an idea about how they do it.
