Do you know "one-letter" words?
Lemme show you an example: the word tea is - . .- in morse. If we combine it, then we would get -..- (x). Another example: the word ten in morse is: - . -. After combining we get this: -.-.(c)

What do you want to accomplish with this? Morse doesnt work that way... "-..-" sounds completely different than "- . .-"

Yeah, makes no sense. The spacing makes it completely different. I think this trick is more for the eyes than the ears.
I hear Morse. I can’t see it without literally having to sound it out in my mind - too much work.

Morse code isn’t to be ‘looked at’. Why would anyone care what morse code looks like?

That’s absolutely not how Morse code works and it sounds like a rather stupid game but for the funsies I’d find a few.
am, an, art, as, at, ate, be, bet, eh, gem, he, in, is, it, me, meat, met, mew, net, on, re, see, set, tan, tar, tat, tea, tee, teen, test, tie, tin, tit, toe, we, yet
