01 · The first 50

The first fifty,
as the widget deals them

N1 is the top of the JLPT: logically complex writing, abstract topics and natural speech. This list holds the 2,656 words that are new at N1. Every entry shows the word, its kana reading and an English meaning.

In Lock&Learn Japanese this list is the N1 pack: a word waits in kanji, the way the test shows it; one tap reveals the reading, the meaning and a real sentence. JLPT N1 opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily; Lock&Learn+ opens every pack at once.

Type to filter by word, reading or meaning. Flashcards hides the reading and the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.

Asked and
answered

How many words are in the JLPT N1 vocabulary list?

2,656. The JLPT publishes no official vocabulary counts. The widely used lists this page follows put N5 at about 700 words and all five levels at about 8,000 words together; this page lists the words that are new at JLPT N1.

Why does this page show 50 of the 2,656 words?

The complete JLPT N1 list is the N1 pack in Lock&Learn Japanese. This page shows the first 50 words the widget deals, enough to judge the level and to try the flashcards. In the app the pack opens with a free preview, another word unlocks daily, and Lock&Learn+ opens all 2,656 at once.

Is this the official JLPT N1 word list?

There is no official list: the JLPT stopped publishing vocabulary lists with the 2010 revision. This page follows the widely used community lists (after Jonathan Waller's tanos.co.uk lists), which is what most textbooks and apps mean by an JLPT N1 list.

How do I study the JLPT N1 list on my iPhone Lock Screen?

Install Lock&Learn Japanese, then touch and hold your Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the widget area and choose Lock&Learn Japanese. The N1 pack puts these words on the widget one at a time: you recall the meaning, one tap reveals it with a real sentence. JLPT N1 opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily; Lock&Learn+ opens every pack at once.

Can I download the JLPT N1 vocabulary list as a PDF?

Use your browser's Print or Save as PDF for the words on this page; the page has a print layout that keeps only the heading and the table. The complete list lives in the app.

Is Lock&Learn Japanese free?

Yes. The app is free on iOS: JLPT N5 is free, every other pack opens with a free preview, and another word unlocks daily. Lock&Learn+ is an optional upgrade that opens every pack at once, offered as a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
