BW Hanzi Writer: Stroke Order

BW Hanzi Writer began as a quiet handwriting companion I built for my own child. It is made for children, parents, and Chinese learners who want to practise correct writing without games, ads, or account setup.

Practice 9,031 Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters, arranged in 9 progressive levels for each script. Explore 20 practical groups containing 1,000 curated words. Choose Simplified or Traditional, Pinyin or Zhuyin independently.

Supports iCloud sync across devices without requiring an account, and core handwriting practice works offline.

What you can do:
• Watch every stroke: clear step-by-step animations show the correct order and structure
• Trace with guidance: follow each path and receive instant audio feedback
• Learn progressively: move from common characters to advanced and rare forms
• Build vocabulary: reinforce characters through 1,000 useful words
• Find and review: search by character, Pinyin, or meaning, then save favorites
• Make it yours: create focused practice lists and track daily and weekly progress
• Sync across devices: iCloud sync keeps your learning progress, favorites, and custom lists up to date everywhere

Ideal for parents practicing with children, beginners building a solid foundation, and anyone who wants to regain confidence in handwritten Chinese.
