About this word list
The index includes all 5,400 official HSK 3.0 entries across six levels. Different readings and official entries remain separate.

Use example pinyin with the audio. 一 and 不 can change tone in ordinary speech; revisit tone changes if these sound different. 儿 can join the preceding syllable, as in huìr.
