How the letters in Wednesday connect

Follow the joins as you write Wednesday: e ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d; d ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of s; s ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d; the remaining 2 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word. Remember: the capital W stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
