Military alphabet code

“Military alphabet code” is search language for the letter code words — Alfa through Zulu — used so B and D do not collapse on a bad channel. This page is that list as an interactive chart and speller.

One international list

26 letters
Type above to build a line — or tap a tile and use Copy word.

International spelling alphabet (ICAO / NATO word list) — not a military training certificate, not APCO department codes.

More detail

It is not a cipher, not a puzzle solver, and not a how-to for encrypting messages. Clear spelling only.

When to use

Looking up a code word mid-call; checking Juliett spelling; turning a short string into code words.

When not to

Do not use this as encryption. Do not expect Morse, pigpen, or puzzle keys.

Assumptions

International English letter code words. Same engine as military-alphabet and NATO landings.

Worked examples

  • In: Letter J

    Out: Juliett

    Two t’s.

  • In: Text CODE

    Out: CHARLIE · OSCAR · DELTA · ECHO

How it works

Tap a tile or paste text. Copy the selected word or the full strip.

Common traps

  • “Code” here means code words for letters — not cryptography.
  • X-ray is hyphenated on many official charts.
  • If you needed Morse, that is a different site.

Common questions
