5-letter words with V as the 1st letter and I as the 2nd letter

Locking in VI fixes two positions, but leaves three letters open. The combined list has 75 matches across tournament dictionaries, though the individual totals differ: Collins has 73, NWL2023 has 56, and ENABLE has 52. Familiar options such as VIDEO, VISIT, VIRUS, and VITAL sit beside less common entries, so pattern recognition matters more than memorizing one tidy group.

• The VI pattern matches 75 words across the tournament dictionaries.
• Sixteen matches are Wordle answers, and all 16 appear in tournament dictionaries.

Which VI words are Wordle answers or guesses?

Sixteen words matching VI are Wordle answers, while 74 are accepted guesses. The answer count is smaller than the guess count, so treat the pattern as a strong filter rather than a complete answer list.

Once V and I are fixed, test the final three spaces with familiar entries such as VIDEO, VISIT, VIRUS, and VITAL. If those letters do not fit your clues, the remaining matches still offer alternate endings and consonant combinations.

Score leaders and dictionary differences

VIZIR, VIZOR, and VIBEX lead the raw score list at 17 points each. VICHY follows at 16, while VIXEN and VITEX score 15. These less familiar choices can beat everyday words on letter value, but a high score does not make a word common.

The 75-word total combines dictionary coverage: Collins has 73 matches, compared with 56 in NWL2023 and 52 in ENABLE. Only 17 entries are common, so many options are specialist vocabulary.
