For some good old fashioned lookup of a word by radical and stroke count, practice online. Here’s a simple example:

——————————————————————-

BE ONE WITH THE ‘Bi Hua’ 笔画 - where’s the 好 in life?

1. Which 部首 bu4 shou 3 is it? Does the woman or the baby come first?
Lookup the first radical
2. It was mom, three strokes. Now add the kid, that’s plus ….?
Add the stroke count for the complete character
3. Yes that was ’san’ bi hua.
