HSK Vocabulary Lists for Every Level, HSK 1 to 7–9
Your textbook says HSK 3, your old flashcards say HSK 4, and the new exam has nine levels. Mandarin Recall puts every word where the 2025 syllabus puts it, so you study the list you will actually be tested on.
Open any list to scan it, then add the whole level to your review deck in one tap. Start with the HSK 1 vocabulary list, or jump straight to the HSK 7–9 vocabulary list if you are aiming high.
Start your free reviewHow Spaced Repetition Makes HSK Vocabulary Stick
A word list tells you what to learn. Spaced repetition makes sure you still know it next month. A few minutes every day mean more than one long session you forget by the weekend.
Pick a level. Your deck starts with that level's words.
Recall before you flip. You see the characters first. Say the pinyin and meaning in your head, then turn the card to check, and listen to the word.
Rate yourself. Tap Again, Good or Easy.
Come back when cards are due. Words you know well come back less often. Words you keep missing come back sooner.
Studied for HSK 2.0? See Where Each Word Sits in the New HSK 3.0
The new HSK has nine levels and new word lists, so a word you learned for one level may now sit in another. Every word in Mandarin Recall shows three levels side by side: the 2025 HSK syllabus, the GF0025-2021 standard, and HSK 2.0.
That means you can open your level, see which words you already know from your old prep, and which ones the new HSK 3.0 vocabulary adds, and pick up from there instead of starting over. Every list names its source, so you always know which version you are looking at.

You just reviewed 书 and you know it means book. But do you know which measure word goes with it? After any card, tap Use it in a sentence and write one sentence of your own.
In a few seconds the report opens on its own, always in the same order: whether the sentence works, a corrected version, its pinyin, what kind of mistake it was (measure word, word order, 了 / 过 / 着, word choice, grammar or a wrong character), and one plain-English line explaining why.

FAQ
Is this the official HSK vocabulary list?
No. Mandarin Recall is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Chinese Testing International or the Center for Language Education and Cooperation. Our lists follow the words and levels of the 2025 HSK syllabus, each word also shows its GF0025-2021 and HSK 2.0 level, and every list names its sources. Meanings, example sentences and audio are our own.
What changed in HSK 3.0?
HSK 3.0 has nine levels instead of six, with levels 7–9 tested together, and new word lists for every level. The first exams under the new syllabus are scheduled for December 13, 2026. Our lists follow the 2025 syllabus, so you study the words for the exam you will take.
I studied for HSK 2.0. Do I have to start over?
No. Every word shows its HSK 2.0 level next to its new level. Open your target level, review the words you already know quickly, and spend your time on the ones that are new to you.
Do I need an account?
Not to review. Pick a level and start. Your progress is saved in this browser, so clearing your browser data or switching devices starts you fresh. You only sign in when you want a sentence checked.
Is it free?
Reviewing every level is free, along with every word list and its audio. Sentence checks use 1 credit each. New accounts get one free check, and failed checks return your credit. Plans and credit packs are on the Pricing page.
How accurate is the AI feedback?
It checks for the mistakes learners make most often, such as measure words, word order and 了 / 过 / 着. It is still AI feedback, so treat it as a tutor's quick note, not a final verdict, and it can't promise you a score on exam day.
Which levels have example sentences?
HSK 1 and HSK 2. Those sentences are checked by a native Chinese speaker and use only words at or below that level. Every level has pinyin, meanings, audio and old-to-new level mapping.
