5-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter

This pattern produces 14 five-letter entries across tournament dictionaries, but only two rank among the most common English words. The opening letter narrows the choices to A, E, O, or M, with A and E tied for the largest groups at five words apiece. Once V and final E are fixed, check that first tile next.

What stands out in this V-and-E pattern?

• All 14 matches have E in the final position.
• Five entries start with A, and five start with E.
• O begins three matches; M begins the remaining one.
• EVADE and EVOKE are recognizable examples among the 14.
• Only two entries fall in the common-word group.

How many 5-letter words have V second and E fifth?

There are 14 such words in the tournament-dictionary count. The opening-letter split is unusually tight at the top: A and E each account for five, while O contributes three and M contributes one. That split makes an A-versus-E check more productive than starting with the smaller M group.

EVADE and EVOKE are familiar options, while OVATE and OVULE show how the O group differs. Collins includes all 14 entries; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include six, so dictionary coverage depends on the game you are playing. Nine of the words have definitions.

Which V-second words suit Wordle or a high score?

Four matches appear in the Wordle answer list, and all 14 are permitted guesses in the matching count. The answer-list names are not identified here, so treat the full pattern as a candidate filter rather than assuming every entry is an answer. With V and E confirmed, use the first letter to narrow your remaining options.

AVYZE leads the scoring results at 20 points, followed by AVIZE at 17; EVOKE scores 12. The strongest scores belong to less familiar spellings, while only two entries are classed as common. For everyday word play, EVADE and EVOKE are easier starting checks; confirm unusual entries against your game's dictionary.
