Sometimes, I make mistakes on jukugo (especially in KaniWani) because I get the order of the kanji wrong. Example: I got a hard time with 女王 (queen) vs. 王女 (princess), but it’s not the only one. I can’t find any kind of logic that holds for most jukugo. Is there something I’m missing?

Kanji order in a jukugo

About differentiating 女王 and 王女, think

王子 and 王女: prince and princess
女王: 女の王: female king
