How to write why in cursive
- 1Write w, h, y as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Size is what makes why readable: tall h, midline-height w, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in why connect
Follow the joins as you write why: w ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of y.
