How to write would in cursive
- Start with the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the w, 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 u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- 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.
How the letters in would connect
- wo w to o: a checkstroke join. The w ends at the midline, so the o starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- ou o to u: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the u starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- ul u to l: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the u swings up into the l.
- ld l to d: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the l swings up into the d.

Would questions
How many strokes does it take to write would 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 would are joined at the midline?
The w, o. These letters end 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 "would" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is would capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "would" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Would is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
Is would an easy word to write in cursive?
Yes. None of its letters (w, o, u, l, d) is among the tricky ones (r, s, f, k, b), which makes "would" a good early practice word.
