This fixed pattern leaves little room for familiar choices: just 8 of the 37 words meet the common-word cutoff. C is the leading first letter, while final S is the most frequent ending. The list also mixes everyday forms such as CONVEY with less familiar entries, so dictionary coverage matters when you play.

6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and V as the 4th letter

  • The pattern has 37 matches; Collins lists all 37, compared with 25 in NWL2023 and 22 in ENABLE.
  • Only 8 matches meet the common-word cutoff, including SOLVED, WOLVES, CONVEY, and CONVOY.
  • C starts 10 words, more than any other first letter; L follows with 6.
  • S ends 13 words, while D and R each end 7.
  • VOLVOX scores 19 points, ahead of CONVEX at 18.

Which endings appear most often?

S is the clear leader at the final position, with 13 matches. SOLVES, WOLVES, and HOOVES show how familiar plurals and verb forms contribute to that group. D and R tie at 7 each, represented by SOLVED and SOLVER.

C leads the starting letters with 10 words, followed by L with 6; S and V each start 5. That spread is a useful scan order when your first tile is unknown: test C and L before spending turns on the smaller groups.

Which matches score the most?

The dictionary counts differ sharply: every match appears in Collins, but NWL2023 accepts 25 and ENABLE accepts 22. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry; VOLVOX is the top scorer, but it is not an everyday word.

A practical filter is to start with SOLVED, WOLVES, CONVEY, and CONVOY when you need recognizable candidates, then widen the search if those letters fail. The common-word count is only 8, so many matches will feel obscure.

  • VOLVOX leads at 19 points; its two X letters make it the standout scoring play in this set.
  • CONVEX is next at 18, while CONVEY, CONVOY, and BOVVER each score 14.
  • WOLVES scores 12, so a familiar word does not necessarily beat the less common options.

Questions people ask

Which common words have O second and V fourth?
SOLVED, WOLVES, CONVEY, and CONVOY are among the common matches. The full pattern has 37 words, but only 8 meet the common-word cutoff, so familiar options make up a small part of the search.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
VOLVOX is the highest scorer at 19 points. CONVEX follows at 18, while CONVEY and CONVOY each score 14. That makes VOLVOX the strongest listed play by score, though its unusual spelling may be harder to spot.
Do all dictionaries accept the same O-and-V words?
No. Collins includes all 37 matches, while NWL2023 includes 25 and ENABLE includes 22. The difference matters most for less familiar entries such as VOLVOX, so check the word list used in your game before playing one.
