How 字典 is written

Stroke order matters: it sets the proportions of the character and how a reader will parse it. In the trainer these same boxes reject a stroke drawn out of turn.

字 — 6 strokes, in writing order from left to right.
典 — 8 strokes, in writing order from left to right.

Not to be confused with

Characters that look or sound alike. The trainer mixes them into the answer options for exactly that reason — so the difference sticks.
