This pattern has a surprising shape: 381 of its entries start with O, while only 15 are common. Most of the familiar examples begin with “ev” or “ov,” including EVENTUALLY, EVERYWHERE, and OVERLOOKED. The list mixes everyday vocabulary with tournament entries that are far less likely to come up in ordinary play.

10-letter words with V as the 2nd letter

There are 485 matching entries across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
O begins 381 entries; E begins 58 and A begins 38.
Only 15 matches are common, despite recognizable words such as EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE.
OVERPRIZED, OVERJUMPED, and AVIZANDUMS each score 25 Scrabble points.

Why do so many entries begin with O?

The second-letter V pattern often appears inside “over” words, which explains why O dominates: 381 entries start with that letter. Examples include OVERWEIGHT, OVERCOMING, OVERLOADED, and OVERWORKED. E is a distant next choice, with 58 entries, many beginning “ev” or “evac.”

The familiar examples are only a small slice of the results. EVERYTHING, EVENTUALLY, and EVERYWHERE are easy to recognize, but just 15 matches count as common. The neighboring 10-letter E-second-letter pattern is much larger, with 5,844 entries, so V narrows the search sharply.

Which V-second words score well in Scrabble?

OVERPRIZED, OVERJUMPED, and AVIZANDUMS lead at 25 points each; OVERGRAZED, OVERJOYING, OVERPRIZES, OVERCHECKS, and OVERGLAZED score 24. The high totals come from valuable letters such as Z, J, and X, not from the V alone. Across the whole set the average score is 16.8, so the 25-point leaders sit well above the typical entry.

For 10-letter words with V as the 2nd letter, dictionary coverage is a real constraint: Collins includes 461 entries, NWL2023 includes 354, and ENABLE includes 297. A total of 412 entries have definitions, but the full set is not accepted in every game. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar choice.

Questions people ask

Which familiar 10-letter words have V as the second letter?

EVERYTHING, EVENTUALLY, EVERYWHERE, and OVERLOOKED are recognizable matches. Other examples include EVACUATION, OVERWEIGHT, and OVERCOMING. The overall set has 485 entries, but only 15 are classed as common, so many matches are specialized or rarely seen.

What is the highest Scrabble score among these words?

OVERPRIZED, OVERJUMPED, and AVIZANDUMS each score 25 points before board bonuses. OVERGRAZED, OVERJOYING, and several other entries reach 24. The top scores rely on premium letters such as Z or J; placing those letters on bonus squares can change the board total.

Are all 485 entries accepted in every tournament dictionary?

No, dictionary coverage differs. Collins includes 461 entries, compared with 354 in NWL2023 and 297 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together. Check the word list used by your game before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
