Come on. What ワープロばか (which probably most of us are) can possibly be
expected to know the radical of even *one* kanji? Heck, we're lucky if we even know
the right stroke order for our own name! Since we probably never write it anyway, but
rather just type it!
I would love to see an English dictionary in which words are collated based on
pronunciation.

So why have a radical / stroke index at all? Base it on smething else. Put the kanji
in question under sa.

What's the kanji for beer?

The current shiritori word is : ちゅうせい
