    How the lookup works

    Each word is matched exactly against the HSK Studio dictionary of 11,623 entries, in simplified or traditional characters. Nothing is guessed: a word either has an entry with a level, or it is listed as not on the HSK list. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you paste is uploaded.

    It looks up words you give it. To split a passage into words first, use the text analyzer, and to see how many words each level contains, the HSK vocabulary size tool lists them.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I find out what HSK level a Chinese word is?

    Type or paste the word into the box above. The tool looks it up in the HSK Studio dictionary, which follows the HSK 3.0 level assignments, and shows its level, pinyin and English meaning. You can paste a whole list, one word per line or separated by commas, and every word is checked at once.

    What does it mean when a word is not found?

    The word is not in the dictionary's HSK 1 to 9 list. It may be a rarer word, a name, slang, or a phrase made of several dictionary words. It does not mean the word is wrong or that it cannot be learned, only that HSK Studio has no HSK level for it.

    Can I look up traditional characters?

    Yes. The dictionary stores the traditional form of each entry, so a word typed in traditional characters is matched to the same entry as its simplified form.

    Does it split a sentence into words for me?

    No, this tool checks the words you give it. To split a passage into words and see the level of each, use the text analyzer, which segments running text with the same dictionary.

    Which HSK version is this?

    HSK 3.0, the nine-level system. HSK 7-9 is one band in this dictionary, so words at those levels are all shown as HSK 7-9. Levels in the older six-level HSK 2.0 lists can differ for some words.
