How to Create a Custom Word List

Created by Ace Turner, Modified on Tue, 28 Apr at 6:26 PM by Ace Turner

Once you have a group created, the next step is to add word lists inside it. Vocab Loco gives you three ways to do this — manually, with AI, or by importing data in bulk.


How to Create a List Inside a Group



Step 1Open your group

  • Go to Word Lists and select the Custom Word Lists tab.
  • Click Manage Words on the group card you want to work with.


Step 2: Choose how to create your list

  • In the group header toolbar, click Create New List.
  • You will see three options. Choose the one that fits your workflow below.


Option A: Create a list manually

  • Select Create New List from the menu.
  • A new empty list appears in the left sidebar. Type a name for it and press Enter.
  • Click the list to open it in the editor and start adding words one by one.


Option B: Generate a list with AI

  • Click Generate with AI in the group header toolbar.
  • Fill in the 3-step form: set the number of lists and words, define your students' level, and describe the topic or goal.
  • Click Generate. Review the results and save the lists you want to keep.


Option C: Import lists in bulk

  • Click Create New List and choose Add Lists in Bulk.
  • Choose your method:
  • Paste data — paste your lists directly using the format: LIST NAME, word1, word2, word3
  • Upload file — upload a .csv, .tsv, or .txt file with the same format.
  • Review the preview table and click Save to confirm.


? Pro Tip: Use AI generation when starting from scratch and you need ideas fast. Use bulk import when you already have your word lists prepared in a spreadsheet or document.


Q: How many lists can I create inside a group?
A: Each group supports up to 60 lists. A progress bar at the bottom of the sidebar shows how many slots you have used.


Q: Can I rename a list after creating it?
A: Yes. Right-click the list name in the sidebar and select Rename.
