The Flag Locker
Say it with flags.
AWOOGA’s horn has exactly one volume. For everything else, sailors invented the International Code of Signals — a 26-flag alphabet that’s been the sea’s emoji set since 1857. Every flag is a letter, and every flag flown alone is a whole sentence. One of them means “I require a tug.” Guess which page found that funny.
Run it up the halyard
Hoist a message
Type anything — your name, a greeting, a strongly-held opinion about tugboats — and she’ll fly it in proper code flags. Then check below: every letter you used is also broadcasting its own official one-flag message to the whole harbor.
Letters and spaces only, 18 flags to a hoist — a real signal halyard would run out of rope too. Numbers use separate pennants, and real ships rarely spell words letter-by-letter; they use one- and two-flag codes so nobody has to stand there all afternoon.

All 26 flags, exactly as the code draws them — each with its official solo meaning and AWOOGA’s reading of the situation. Tap any card to add that flag to your hoist above.
