Reading Sentences

Reading Complete Sentences

Sentences combine multiple word circles into larger designs. Each word gets its own circle, arranged counterclockwise within a sentence circle.

The Rules

  • Sentence circle: Outer circle containing all words
  • Inner punctuation circle: Holds punctuation marks (not yet available on this site)
  • Read counterclockwise: Words arranged from bottom, read in sequence
  • Lines can span words: Letter lines may cross multiple word circles (endpoints still matter)
  • Words can interlock: Arc-shaped letters can connect word circles together (not yet available on this site)

Sentence Structure

A typical sentence has three layers:

  1. Outer sentence circle - Defines the boundary
  2. Inner punctuation circle - Decorative ring for punctuation and divots (not yet available on this site)
  3. Word circles - Each word in its own circle, arranged counterclockwise
