WWHWWWH is a seven-character string consisting solely of the letters W and H. There is no universally accepted definition or canonical use for the sequence; it is primarily encountered as an example in discussions of puzzles, combinatorics, and coding exercises, where the meaning depends on context.

In puzzle contexts, a common interpretation is to treat W and H as binary-like symbols, such as

Because the string lacks intrinsic semantic content, it has appeared in a variety of unrelated contexts, and
