How many Japanese words do you know?

Just check the Japanese words you know and we'll estimate the size of your vocabulary, plus a rough JLPT level for reference. The list mixes everyday words with rare ones.

· Tap only the Japanese words whose meaning you actually know.

· Be honest for accuracy — guessing throws off the estimate.

· 48 words are shown, mixing real words with trap non-words.

· We statistically estimate your total vocabulary from your hit rate in each frequency band and map it to a reference JLPT level (an estimate, not an exam).

About This Content

Ever wondered how many Japanese words you actually know? The Waglebagle Japanese Vocabulary Test estimates your vocabulary size the way researchers do: you simply tick the Japanese words — kanji and kana alike — whose meaning you know, across five frequency bands from everyday basics to rare and specialized terms. Invented trap words catch over-claiming and keep your score honest, so the estimate reflects what you really know. On top of the raw number, you get a reference JLPT level from N5 through N1, so you can see roughly where your vocabulary sits on the familiar Japanese-Language Proficiency Test scale. Note that this is a fun reference mapping, not the official exam. The interface is available in nine languages while the test words stay in Japanese, so learners at any level can take it. No sign-up, completely free — see your number, a band-by-band breakdown, and a shareable result card, then come back to watch your Japanese vocabulary grow.
