The ones a beginner meets first: every word of Lock&Learn Spanish that belongs to an everyday topic (numbers, days and months, colors, family, food, the body, the weather, clothes, the home, school and work, travel, feelings, question words and greetings), plus the most useful verbs and adjectives. Most of them sit at A1 and A2, and the level chip on every row says which.
The words come from the CEFR-levelled Lock&Learn Spanish lists, the same words Lock&Learn Spanish teaches level by level; the topic on each word is Lock&Learn's own tagging, one topic per word, kept deliberately strict so that a topic page holds only what a learner would look for under that heading.
Install Lock&Learn Spanish, then touch and hold your Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the widget area and choose Lock&Learn Spanish. The Beginner pack, free in the app, holds most of the words on these pages. A word waits on the widget, readable from day one; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence.
Yes. The app is free on iOS: Beginner is free in full, and every other pack opens with a free preview. Lock&Learn+ is an optional upgrade that opens every pack at once, offered as a yearly plan (with a 3-day free trial) or a monthly plan.
