I assume this is the 9999999 post complaining about things like this, but really??? That is the same as the spring radical??
Well, it certainly can be considered the same radical, albeit slightly modified.
Kind of like 足 is slightly modified in 路
To be fair, while many WK radicals are made up to simplify memorizing the kanji, the official radicals are no better in that regard.
For example, officially, 人 and ｲ are considered the same radical…
It’s WaniKani that actually distinguishes between them 
I understand your frustration but unfortunately there isn’t any way around it, there are too many variations and similar-looking components to avoid these shortcuts. There’s no better way to break down this specific character as far as I can tell.
@trunklayer @simias Yeah you are right, thanks for being a shoulder to cry on hahaha
I come from RTK, and I find its radicals much more precise. But with WK I think I can recognize kanji much faster, no need to consciously decipher radicals inside radicals inside radicals like I did while studying RTK. I just need to get used to lose some detail.
Woah, wait, but it totally it is!! A perfect stroke pattern match! thanks for pointing this out! I had been kind of annoyed trying to think of 実 as a combination of maybe Husband and Ground? or something? Unlike 夫 or 漢, the three strokes was tripping me up occasionally.
I also use husband instead of spring for this kanji. Also makes for a nice mnemonic: In this house (under this roof) the husband’s words are the truth, no matter how wrong they are. Think of some super strict parent, or maybe the household is part of some weird cult.
Ha, the WaniKani radical naming rabbit hole gets everyone eventually. Their radicals are semi-invented mnemonic labels, not the traditional ones, so they sometimes lump visually-close shapes under the same name to make the stories stick. Annoying when it collides with actual kanji logic, but once you lean into “it’s just a memory hook, not linguistics” it bothers you less. Mostly.
