When you're writing, a hyphen is useful for forming a compound word or separating the syllables of a word at the end of a line of text. The word merry go round uses two hyphens.
A mark or short dash, thus [-], placed at the end of a line which terminates with a syllable of a word, the remainder of which is carried to the next line; or between the parts of many a compound word; as in fine-leaved, clear-headed. It is also sometimes used to separate the syllables of words.
