I am looking for the adjective jōzu / boozy in my Takoboto dictionary, to learn further information, or its kanji, but cannot find it.
Can someone help me develop a strategy for looking up and finding adjectives in a dictionary?

Learn Hepburn romanization if you want to use romaji. Your textbook uses a non-standard type of romanization. Better yet, just learn the kana. The word is 上手{じょうず}.
The adjective is actually spelled as jouzu in the dictionary. As with many oo combinations, one has to try on as well, as per this post.
