Transatlantic cable in 1880's can transfer 8 words per minute(approx 5bps per second)

I have seen this in video. In general does the the word have any specific bits or the bits of the word change accordingly
 

I remember reading about there being a standard set of "words" used for transmit and receive that are used to determine the WPM speed of an operator.
 

Normally only one word is used to determine the WPM for a certain length of the pulses. The most common word seems to be "PARIS". Another example is "CODEX", and unfortunately is the WPM value highly dependent on the selected word. The difference between "PARIS" and "CODEX" is about 20%.
