How 历史 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.

历 — 4 strokes, in writing order from left to right.
史 — 5 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.
