How to write Lucy in cursive
- Start with a capital L (undercurve, loop, double curve, loop, curve under). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline and a loop back to the left.
- Lift the pencil after the L, then write the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- Swing up into the c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the y (overcurve, slant, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): an overcurve, a slant, an undercurve and a second slant that drops below the baseline into a loop.

Lucy questions
How many strokes does it take to write Lucy in cursive?
2 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in Lucy connected?
Yes. Every join in "Lucy" is a baseline join: each letter ends with an upward exit stroke on the baseline and the next letter starts from it. There are no bridge letters (b, o, v, w) in this word.
Is Lucy capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Lucy is a name, so it always starts with a capital L. The capital L stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
Is Lucy an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (l, u, c, y) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "Lucy" a good early practice word.
