How to write good luck in cursive
- Start with the g (downcurve, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): the oval of an a followed by a descender loop that crosses back on the baseline.
- 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the d (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): the same oval as a, then an undercurve up to the topline and a slant back down.
- Start with the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.

- Swing up into the k (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, loop, curve right, undercurve): a tall loop like an l, then a small loop at the midline and a kick-out stroke.
