Guess which loop-tail "g" is the correct one.

Quiz

The correct answer is 3!

It's "g"!

In fact, a 2018 John Hopkins study found that out of 25 adults, only 7 picked the correct answer. 

But if you got it wrong, you're not alone.

Final thoughts

When you learned to write, you were likely only taught to write the open-tail "g".

You may have seen the loop-tail "g"        millions of times, but because you never actually had to write it by hand, you never memorized the exact way it looked.

Why you may have guessed incorrectly 

Never make a writing mistake again!
