Instead of answering your specific question, maybe it's better to tell you how I go about it in general.
I usually go
here, search for the kanji and then click on "search the current dictionary for compounds of the selected kanji", with the options "any position" and "common words only".
This way I can find a word that is common and contains the desired kanji. However I DON'T use the sentences given there. Instead I use good 'ol google, Japanese version, for sentences containing the desired compound. Sometimes I find it useful to include in the search a particle, based on what kind of word it is (and using the quotes).
For example, if I wanted a sentence with 殺風景, I'd search for things like "殺風景な" or "が殺風景". Then I'd look for a sentence I like, making sure it comes from a real Japanese site and verify it doesn't sound wrong (you need some experience in the language for this, though).
The inclusion of the particles is a way to exclude Chinese results and to restrict a little the kind of sentences you get.
However I almost never need to do this kind of search, because I usually input words that I've encountered in context. I can therefore add the true sentences in which I've found them. This creates a natural frequency ranking in my deck. The most obscure and rare kanji won't be added for a long time, but that means I will not need them until then.
