How 对不起 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.

对 — 5 strokes, in writing order from left to right.
不 — 4 strokes, in writing order from left to right.
起 — 10 strokes, in writing order from left to right.
