HSK 6 tests 5,400 words: the 3,600 from the levels below, plus the 1,800 here. Of the 1,800, 954 were in the HSK 2.0 lists: 4 at level 4, 242 at level 5 and 708 at level 6. For the rest of what changed, read our guide to HSK 3.0.

A note on Purlingual: the app teaches these new lists, HSK 1 to 6, in chapters by topic. HSK 7–9 isn’t in the app yet. The 1,800 linked words each have a page in our HSK vocabulary lists.

All 1,800 words, by first letter

The list is long, so it’s split into two pages by the first letter of the pinyin, in the syllabus’s own order.
