How to write no in cursive
- Start with the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
How the letters in no connect
- no n to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the n swings up into the o.

How many strokes does it take to write no 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 no are joined at the midline?
The o. This letter ends 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 "no" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is no capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "no" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form No is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
Is no an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (n, o) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "no" a good early practice word.
