Even if the receiver knows every sequence code for letters and symbols by head, how does he know where one letter starts and ends and how does he prevent overlap of 2 letter codes getting mixed up ?

they use spacing but just a little different.
Just watched something about that. Morse originally thought that the dots and dashes would print out on a tape to be read later.
Then they found out, that with enough practice, the operator was able to read the dots and dashes directly and just write the message down as it came in.
Have you ever heard an auctioneer talk? They talk so fast there is almost no space between words, yet people understand. Might take a few tries to understand perfectly (especially if it isnt your native language), but with practice you can.
Id imagine morse code is no different.

It was designed to be decoded but then receivers just started picking it up, we’re just pattern matching humans.
