Which tool should I use first?
- Not sure of your level? Start with the English level test or the vocabulary size test.
- Found a text and wonder if it is right for you? Use the text difficulty checker.
- Teaching or writing for a level? The CEFR text level checker and the A1–C2 vocabulary level checker show the level of a text and of its words.
- Planning your reading? Measure your reading speed, then use the reading time calculator.
- Building the basics? Start with the 1000 most common English words, the irregular verbs list and the most useful phrasal verbs, or browse the A1–C2 word lists.
How the tools work
The vocabulary and CEFR tools use a list of about 32,000 English words ranked by frequency, with CEFR levels from the CEFR-J Wordlist (A1–B2) and the Octanove Vocabulary Profile (C1–C2). The list is downloaded once and the analysis runs in your browser: the text you paste is never sent to our servers.
Every result is an estimate and is labeled as one. Each tool page explains its method and its limits.
