Learning vocabulary by letter isn’t something we would recommend as you’re less likely to find ways to fit them into your daily practise. Obviously this may not be why you’re here, but many people work their way through vocabulary lists and memorise as much as possible. If this is the kind of technique you like to use then we would recommend learning words by frequency of use rather than by what letter they begin with. You may not have too much issue memorising Spanish words that start with a W, but you probably won’t get too much of a chance to use them which can cause them to fall out of your memory. Instead, it would be a better use of your time to interact with the vocabulary relative to your current level and use.
