The Greek Uppercase Letters

To learn to write the letters and memorise them, we suggest using our Greek Letters app.

The stroke order for the 24 uppercase Greek letters is shown below. Two variations are shown for Γ, Ι, Λ Π, and Ω that indicate a second common way to write the letter.

Many of the uppercase letters are similar to English capital letters, thus you probably know how to write them already. The stroke orders below are only a recommendation of how to write the letters. If you already use or decide to use a different stroke order, then as long as ends up looking like the letter, then that is fine. Legibity is more important than stroke order.
