5-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ V _ E: V sits in the middle, and E closes every match. MOVIE and REVUE are familiar options, but the set also includes less common forms such as CUVEE and JUVIE. Only one match is common, so a green V and E can still leave you with a tricky choice.

JUVIE tops the Scrabble values at 15 points, ahead of MOVIE, CUVEE, CIVIE, and several other entries at 10. The whole group averages 9.5 points. Nine matches have definitions, but familiarity and dictionary acceptance are different questions.

For 5-letter words with V as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter, test known letters in positions one, two, and four before guessing an obscure entry. The sparse common-word pool is the catch: only one match ranks among common English words. For crosswords or word games, check your game's word list once, since Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE accept different totals.
