How to write silver in cursive
- Start with the s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the v (overcurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): an overcurve down to the baseline and back up, ending with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the v, 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.
- After the word, dot the i.

Silver questions
How many strokes does it take to write silver in cursive?
2 strokes: one continuous stroke for the letters, then dot the i. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in silver are joined at the midline?
The v. 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 "silver" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is silver capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "silver" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Silver is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in silver?
The s and the r. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump.
