That pattern fixes the form as V _ _ D _ _: the fourth letter is D, while positions two, three, five, and six vary. VENDOR, VOODOO, and VANDAL are the clearest everyday anchors. Just 2 of the 23 entries rank among the commonest English words, so expect a compact clue list with plenty of specialist vocabulary.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

  • All 23 matches appear in Collins; 13 also appear in NWL2023 and 12 in ENABLE.
  • Only 2 entries are common by our frequency measure.
  • Five words end in S; E and R each finish 3.
  • VERDOY, VIFDAS, VILDLY, and VIVDAS lead scoring at 13 points apiece.
  • VENDOR, VOODOO, VANDAL, and VENDEE each score 10.

How many 6-letter words have V first and D fourth?

There are 23 six-letter words with V in position one and D in position four. The ending pattern is led by S, with 5 matches; E and R tie at 3 each, while D, N, O, T, and Y each occur twice. That spread makes the final letter a useful second filter: an S ending narrows the choices more than any other ending.

The S-first, D-fourth sibling has 112 matches, nearly five times this V-first set. Familiar choices cluster around VEN- and VOO-: VENDOR names a seller, VENDEE a buyer, and VOODOO is widely recognized. VENDED, VENDER, and VENDEE share the V-E-N-D opening, so watch the fifth and sixth tiles rather than treating the first four as enough to identify a word.

How can the scoring tie guide a play?

VERDOY, VIFDAS, VILDLY, and VIVDAS tie for top score at 13 points each. Their lead over VENDOR, VOODOO, VANDAL, and VENDEE is 3 points, since each of those scores 10. The four-way tie is the key scoring distinction: these words beat familiar 10-point entries without relying on a single champion.

These entries aren't equally portable across games: Collins includes 23, while NWL2023 includes 13 and ENABLE 12. Many remaining options are uncommon, so check your game's word list before playing a disputed form.

Questions people ask

Are all 23 words accepted in NWL2023?
No. Collins lists all 23 matches, but NWL2023 accepts 13 and ENABLE accepts 12. Those totals differ by dictionary, so a word that fits V _ _ D _ _ still needs to match the list used in your game. The familiar VENDOR does not erase those list differences.
Which words matching this pattern end in S?
Five matches end in S: VELDTS, VANDAS, VENDIS, VIFDAS, and VIVDAS. The endings E and R each appear 3 times, so an S tile is the strongest final-letter filter for this pattern. The S-ending group includes both familiar and obscure forms.
Does VENDOR score the most among these words?
No. VENDOR scores 10 points, while VERDOY, VIFDAS, VILDLY, and VIVDAS tie at 13. The difference is 3 points on the listed tile scores; board premiums and placement can change the value of an actual play.
