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.
