These are frequencies in one KanjiVG snapshot. A frequent pair is not a rule that the next stroke must be of that type.

Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. The column on the plate names the letter-stripped type as the stroke is drawn. The name just reached is cinnabar. Names already drawn stay.
