About this list
- There has been no official JLPT vocabulary list since 2010. Levels come from comparing three public lists, including Jonathan Waller’s JLPT lists (tanos.co.uk); when they disagree, the word goes to the easier level.
- The order is by frequency — JMdict frequency markers and how often the word appears in Tatoeba sentences. It is the same order in which the Shikken app introduces new words.
- Spelling variants of one word (嘘 and うそ) count as one word. Counts per level and why lists disagree: How many words do you need for JLPT N3?
