Losing the Thread (糸)

I notice that I get more and more confused by all the Kanji with the 糸 radical.

Around level 19 these ones are all pretty fresh:

結 けつ Bind
細 さい Thin
繋 つな Connect
続 ぞく Continue
絡 らく Entangle

And I’m starting to mix up the 絡 and 結 especially. They are visually very similar and also in meaning. I managed to work 結 all the way back to Apprentice I. That got me thinking: I’ll just have to study the distinction between these two and I’m sure I’ll manage eventually.

With that said, let’s see in how many Kanji this radical occurs, and oh boy…

Summary

Please tell me that this is the hardest / most confusing one and that it won’t be so bad in practice.

Threads are everywhere… :thread:

In fact, even this thing we are writing in – is a forum thread trunky_rolling

P. S. Another very common radical is 言… But 口 is even more common! radical trunky_rolling
