This site is the public face of an open research project, the Ukrainian Frequency study. Nothing here is invented: every page is compiled from published, cited datasets, and the guides read their numbers from the same files.

Which words get a page
A word gets a page only when it has both a validated level and at least one dictionary meaning. That rules out thin pages and predicted levels. Today that is the top 3,000 such words by frequency (3,120 entries, since a few spellings are two different words).
Download it, cite it, build on it
- Anki decks: one learner deck per level, stressed word to meaning, on Decks.
- Downloads: the full list as CSV, JSON and an Anki deck seed, with checksums, at jakelawrence.xyz. Every part of the study is mapped on The research.
- Python:
pip install ukvocabinstalls the published data as tables. - API: a hosted lemmatizer turns any inflected form into its headword: contract and OpenAPI.
