How many words are in the “600 Essential Words for the TOEIC” deck?
The deck holds 622 words, split into smaller groups so you can study a manageable batch at a time instead of facing the whole list at once.

You can read the word list on this page without an account. Studying it with flashcards, audio and spaced repetition needs a free Parroto account; a few advanced decks are reserved for PRO members.
