Quick answer

How many words are in HSK 3, and what does the list include?

HSK Level 3 under HSK 3.0 contains 953 words. The matching older HSK 2.0 level is Level 3 with 298 words. The list below shows the highest-frequency entries first, each with simplified and traditional hanzi, tone-marked pinyin, part of speech, the matching other-scheme level where one exists, a corpus frequency rank, and an English gloss. Hold basic conversations on familiar topics, manage travel, work, and study small talk.

Knowing every word up to HSK 3 means you recognize about 66.8% of the running words in everyday spoken Chinese (film and TV subtitles), because the most frequent words are front-loaded into the lower levels. That is token coverage, not full comprehension. See the full ladder.

How to use this list

Study in frequency orderThe rows are ranked by corpus frequency, so the words nearer the top appear far more often in real Chinese. Front-loading them gives the fastest reading and listening gains.
Separate recognition from productionCover the English column to test recall, or cover the hanzi to test writing. Each level rewards drilling both directions, not just reading.
Mind the 2.0 / 3.0 gapWords marked · are absent from the other scheme. If your test center still runs HSK 2.0, switch the toggle to line the list up with your exam.
