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