Thank you very much! Now, what are the the exact rules you use for radical decomposition?

Here are some items I spotted in my reviews that do not follow stroke order. (The first one is disputable, the second one is clearly wrong.)

- [「決」](https://www.wanikani.com/kanji/%E6%B1%BA) should be 「氵、ユ、人」 instead of 「氵、人、ユ」—the same goes for [「快」](https://www.wanikani.com/kanji/%E5%BF%AB)
- [「池」](https://www.wanikani.com/kanji/%E6%B1%A0) should be 「氵、也」 instead of 「也、氵」

> The radical ordering is going to be a mix of left to right + actual stroke order. Sometimes stroke order is a bit weird though, so it won’t always match what you’ll find on sites like Jisho, but it should be consistent either way.

If you see any problems/ambiguities like the ones you mention, could you send them to [hello@wanikani.com](mailto:hello@wanikani.com)? That way, we can address them as part of our normal error reporting workflow. The forums get a little crazy for managing support stuff. 🤪
