How it works
Kentucky in bubble letters opens here on one sideways sheet in Chewy, the tallest of the six fonts for this word. Eight letters, and only the e has a hole, which the thick outline closes to a dark mark.

Open the e again with Hollow
All six fonts fill the e in the Bubble look. Set Look to Hollow and it opens again, in a thinner line that also prints taller. Typed in capitals, KENTUCKY has no hole at all: eight solid shapes to color.
Bluegrass State, the capital and the cave
Once a sheet has printed, open Kentucky words in bubble letters below it. Bluegrass / State is the nickname. Frankfort is the capital; Louisville, Lexington and Bowling / Green are the three largest cities, in that order. Mammoth / Cave is a national park with the world's longest known cave system. Cumberland / Gap is the old pass through the Appalachian Mountains.
- Bowling / Green, stacked on two lines, prints the tallest of the Kentucky ready words; Land Between / the Lakes, the longest, prints smallest.
- Red River / Gorge lies in a national forest; Kentucky / Lake is the largest artificial lake east of the Mississippi by surface area.
