Want in Cursive
The word want in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.
want takes 2 strokes to write in cursive — w-a-n-t in one continuous stroke; then go back to cross the t. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.
How to write want in cursive
- 1Write w, a, n, t as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
- 2Go back and cross the t.
Keep w, a, and n small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let t climb toward the topline.
How the letters in want connect
Follow the joins as you write want: w ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
The letters in want
want is only as good as its letters. Each card links to the full guide — animation, joins, quiz, and worksheet — for that letter.
Trace want in cursive
Trace it the way children do in the app: start on the green circle and pull it along every stroke without straying off the word.
Put your finger or mouse on the circle and pull it through the first stroke.
