No words match. Try a single character, or pinyin without tones.
Paste any Chinese text into the level checker. Words above HSK 1 are marked in red, so you can see at once whether a text fits.
HSK 1 is the first of the nine HSK 3.0 levels. Its 300 words cover numbers, family, time, food, places and the most common verbs, enough for short everyday exchanges.
Every later level builds on this list: HSK 2 adds 200 words for a total of 500, and HSK 3 adds 500 more for a total of 1,000.
A few entries are easy to miss because the syllabus lists words, not characters. 杯子 (cup) is on the list, but the measure word 杯 is not, so 一杯茶 is above HSK 1.
