V is a hard letter to place, so this list is short and predictable. A vowel almost always follows it, and E or I does the job in 255 of the 433 words. If you know that, most clues drop away within two guesses.

V words at six letters, at a glance

433 words match, up from 240 at five letters and 562 at seven.
57 are common by frequency, and 336 have a definition.
E (130) and I (125) are the commonest second letters; A has 98 and O has 67.
S ends 122 words, E ends 56, D ends 54 and R ends 47.
VIZZIE scores 27, VAXXED 24 and VAXXES 23.

What letter follows the V most often?

E, with 130 words, just ahead of I with 125. E gives you VENUES, VESSEL, VECTOR and VERSUS, while I gives you VICTIM, VISION, VISUAL and VIRGIN. Between them they account for 255 of the 433 words, or about 59 percent.

A and O follow at 98 and 67, which together add 165 more. U is rare at 9 words, and only three words put an R behind the V. Skip those unless every vowel has failed.

Why does S dominate the endings?

Plurals. S closes 122 of the 433, which is more than a quarter, in words such as VIDEOS, VALUES, VOICES, voters and visits. Past tenses add 54 more under D: VIEWED, valued and varied.

Single-letter endings tell a story too. R gives VECTOR and victor, Y gives VALLEY, and E gives VOLUME, virtue and viable.

How does V compare with other openers?

V is small. S starts 2,737 six-letter words, more than six times the 433 here. That scarcity is why a V on your rack feels awkward: few words use it.

Length changes the picture. V opens 240 five-letter words and 562 seven-letter ones, so the six-letter slot is a middle step that rewards players who know the vowel patterns. Learn the E and I families and you cover most of the list.

Which V words score the most?

VIZZIE leads with 27, and its two Zs supply 20 of those points. VAXXED and VAXXES follow with 24 and 23, using a double X worth 16.

VOZHDS (22), VIZARD and VOLVOX (19 each) round out the top six. The V itself is worth 4, so the points come from the Z and X tiles beside it.

Collins accepts 419 of the 433, NWL2023 accepts 310 and ENABLE accepts 277. Check your game's word list before playing VIZZIE or VAXXED.
