This page lists 94 of them. They come from the VocaFlare Spanish catalogue, so these are words people actually use, not every string in a dictionary. Accented letters count as letters: "año" is a three-letter word. ### Why are multi-word entries missing? Only single runs of letters are counted. "a veces" and "sin embargo" are real vocabulary, but neither is a 3-letter word, so they stay on the level lists and out of this one. ### Are these words graded by level? Yes. Every word on this page also belongs to a CEFR level from A1 to C2, and its own page states which one. Open a word to see its meaning, an example sentence and its level.
