You need a handshape dictionary.

Here’s a print one: The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary https://www.amazon.com/dp/1563684446/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QMqQCb93KCWFR

asldeafined.com has signs grouped by handshape, but I’m not sure if that’s free or not.

:D. You're very welcome! For teaching yourself ASL i recommend Lifeprint.com. Deaf-owned/operated. He's an ASL Instructor at a university in California whose name escapes me.

I forgot to add! There is a true ASL-English Dictionary where you can search for a sign by the English index in the back, or by the Handshape(s) used in the sign.The ASL Handshape Dictionary (The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary https://www.amazon.com/dp/1563684446/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Xp2hAbX7HB7G1).

If you're a serious student, this book is invaluable. https://www.amazon.com/American-Sign-Language-Handshape-Dictionary/dp/1563684446

You look up a sign by one or two hands, then by handshape and position.
It may be a little dated and regional, but when it has the sign you're looking for, it's useful.
