My understanding is that "Words for Japanese Basics" is a companion vocab schedule for the "Japanese Basics" grammar schedule. So it's not "basics" in the sense you're probably thinking of. Pretty sure It just has the words you'd need for the grammar schedule.
I'd also recommend the "The Basic 300" Sentences schedule. You can find it under "Resources" → "Community Lists" → look up "The Basic 300" → Schedule all.
