Stroke order chart for the 纟 radical — 3 strokes

The shapes it is written in

纟 in 37 characters, 糸 in 7 characters. They are one radical: a part changes shape to fit where it sits in the character, and the dictionary gives every shape the same meaning.

What it tells you about a character

Of the 44 characters below, 39 are pictophonetic with 纟 as the half that carries the meaning — the other half carries the sound. That is the use of knowing a radical: it narrows what a new character is about before you know how to say it.
