Orange letters: Like the indigo letters, these letters have no “tails”, but unlike the indigo letters, they have "hands" to help them hold onto other letters. Yellow letters: These letters join to following letters and each has a unique “tail” when found at the end of a word. Green letters: These letters join to following letters and have horizontal “tails”. Blue letters: These letters join to following letters and have deeply curved, backward pointing “tails”. Indigo letters: These letters can not join to following letters since they do not have "hands".. Violet letters: These letters join to following letters and have deeply curved, upward pointing “tails”.
