Stroke Order

Follow the numbers and draw each letter the proper way, one stroke at a time.

How to play

A letter is shown with its strokes numbered in the correct sequence. Trace each stroke in order and direction to form the letter neatly, then move through the rest of the word until it is fully written.

• Trace each stroke following the numbered order
• Start and move in the indicated direction
• Complete every letter to build the whole word
• Accurate, in-order tracing scores best

Controls

• Desktop: press and drag with the mouse to trace each stroke
• Phone & tablet: trace with your finger directly on the letter

Game modes

• Daily: a shared seeded word set ranked globally
• Practice: fresh words each round at varying difficulty

Tips & strategy

• Begin each stroke exactly on its start point — drifting off costs accuracy
• Smooth, steady drags track better than fast, jerky ones
• Learn the common pattern: most letters start at the top and work left to right
