How to write flower in cursive
- Start with the f (undercurve, loop, slant, loop, undercurve): the only lowercase letter that uses the full range, with a loop above the midline and a loop below the baseline.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the w, write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
How the letters in flower connect
- fl f to l: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the f swings up into the l.
- lo l to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the l swings up into the o.
- ow o to w: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the w starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- we w to e: a checkstroke join. The w ends at the midline, so the e starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- er e to r: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the e swings up into the r.

Flower questions
How many strokes does it take to write flower in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in flower are joined at the midline?
The o, w. These letters end with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "flower" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is flower capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "flower" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Flower is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in flower?
The f and the r. Practice f right after l and g: the top half is an l, the bottom half is a mirrored g loop. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
