How to write it, step by step
- Join the letters without lifting your pencil: h, o, p and e.
- Watch the high join (op): after b, o, v or w, the next letter starts at the midline, not the baseline.
- Let the p drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.

Tips for each letter
- h
- Making the hump too narrow, so h looks like an l and an i. Give the hump some width.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from the midline.
- p
- Making a loop on the tail. Cursive p goes down and back up the same line, with no loop below.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
