Level Placement Lab
The corpus is large enough to need placement operations. This lab sorts the Unleveled backlog by source rank, word class, topic readiness, examples, and drill paths.

Unleveled entries that can still be prioritized by source rank.
122

High-frequency backlog that should be placed before the long tail.
276

Unleveled words already connected to practical topic routes.
19

Unleveled words with pronunciation support for listening practice.
Placement pressure
That is 48% of the full 6,276 word corpus. The first pass should focus on the 122 ranked words inside the top 1000.
Heuristic suggestions group the backlog into reviewable placement batches without writing to the database.
Suggested A1
Highest-frequency everyday words and concrete starter vocabulary.
2
candidates
Suggested A2
Common words that are useful early but slightly less basic or more flexible.
17
candidates
Suggested B1
Intermediate everyday words, common abstractions, and reusable function words.
64
candidates
Suggested B2
Lower-frequency, abstract, formal, or domain-specific vocabulary.
711
candidates
Suggested C1
Advanced vocabulary with specialized, formal, or dense meaning.
1,265
candidates
Suggested C2
Rare, specialist, or highly nuanced vocabulary for late-stage depth.
977
candidates
Priority
High-frequency Unleveled words should be placed first because they shape default drills fastest.
Next action
Decide whether each word belongs in A1, A2, B1, or later.
Grammar
Pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, and numerals are small but important progression blockers.
Next action
Place the highest-ranked function words before deeper nouns.
Nouns
Nouns dominate the backlog, so placing them unlocks cleaner article, plural, and topic paths.
Next action
Sort concrete high-frequency nouns before long-tail terms.
Verbs
Unleveled verbs need a home before verb-builder paths can sequence them by difficulty.
Next action
Place common action verbs, then review separable or abstract verbs.
Topics
These words already have practical topics, so placement immediately improves themed practice.
Next action
Batch-place one topic cluster at a time.
Depth
Lower-frequency entries make the corpus deep, but they should follow the ranked intake queue.
Next action
Keep as later levels unless the word is concrete, common, or topic-critical.
Start with the highest-frequency backlog before sorting the long tail.
Shows which grammar categories dominate the placement backlog.
Topic-ready Unleveled words can improve themed practice immediately.
Use the same decision frame for every intake pass so the level map stays consistent as the database grows.
A1-A2
Common concrete words, everyday function words, basic verbs, and high-frequency forms learners meet early.
B1-B2
Abstract everyday vocabulary, reusable academic or workplace words, and terms that need more context.
C1-C2
Specialist, formal, rare, or domain-heavy words that matter after core fluency is stable.
Highest-priority Unleveled entries, sorted by source rank, frequency, and German word order.
