11-letter words starting with V at a glance

The list contains 432 tournament-dictionary entries.

Which final letters appear most often?

S is the leading ending by a wide margin: 185 entries finish with S, compared with 55 ending in Y and 45 ending in G. That makes an S-ending candidate worth checking early when your rack or clue suggests a plural form.

Which 11-letter V words score highly in Scrabble?

For 11-letter words starting with V, the top Scrabble score is 28 points, shared by victimizing, vampirizing, and vizierships. Vanquishing, victimizers, and vaporizable each score 27, so an unfamiliar word can beat a more recognizable one.

Average tile value is only part of the picture: the 432 entries average 17.9 points, yet the leaders clear 28. Definitions exist for 354 of them, so many valid entries have no definition to fall back on. Those undefined entries are hard to recall, though they still count in a tournament dictionary.
