How to write Thursday in cursive
- Start with a capital T (curve right; double curve, curve up, slide right). Stroke 1: start at the topline and curve right to make the wavy top bar.
- Lift the pencil after the T, then write the h (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): a tall loop followed by a hump, like an l and an n joined together.
- 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 r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into 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 d (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): the same oval as a, then an undercurve up to the topline and a slant back down.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and 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.
- After the word, finish the T with its top bar.

Thursday questions
How many strokes does it take to write Thursday in cursive?
3 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift, then finish the T with its top bar. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in Thursday connected?
Yes. Every join in "Thursday" 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 Thursday capitalized in cursive?
Yes. "Thursday" is a proper noun and takes a capital letter wherever it appears.
What is the hardest letter in Thursday?
The r and the s. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump. 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.
