The open word lists behind IAspid's vocabulary levels

Last updated: September 27, 2026

IAspid decides the level of each word you say from four open lists. We cite them here, as their licenses ask, and thank their authors.

Important: The levels in IAspid are adapted from these lists: word forms are grouped under their base word, and the lists are combined. They are not the original datasets.

CEFR-J Wordlist 1.5

SUBTLEX-US

Estimates the level of the words the lists above do not have, from how often they appear in American film and TV subtitles. Levels estimated this way are shown with a tilde, like ~B2.

British spellings

Pairs British spellings with American ones, so realise and realize count as the same word.
