Every word with its reading and meaning. Pick your level and start reading, then let Lock&Learn Japanese put the words on your Lock Screen.
Five word lists that follow the JLPT levels: each word in kanji or kana with its reading and an English meaning. The JLPT has published no official lists since 2010, so these follow the widely used sets built from the earlier syllabus and later exams. Pick a level, read the list, then let the widget carry it onto your Lock Screen.
