Which V-first, I-fourth words score highest?

VIZIED leads the Scrabble score list at 19 points. VIZIER, VIVIFY, VIZIRS, VEZIRS, and VIZIES each score 18, so the strongest options cluster around uncommon letter combinations rather than familiar words such as VISION.

VEXING and VAXING are close behind at 17 points. VERIFY scores 15, making it a more recognizable option when you need a word that fits the pattern without relying on the top-scoring, less familiar choices.

Endings give the quickest filter: S ends 15 of the 73 words, and E and G end 13 each. VISITS and VIZIRS show the S group, while VOTING and VEXING show the G group.

Which game word lists accept these V-I words?

Collins accepts 68 of the 73 words, NWL2023 accepts 58, and ENABLE accepts 51. A word that scores well in one game can be rejected in another, which matters most for the rare high scorers.

Those lists overlap, so the totals cannot be added together. Check your game's dictionary before playing an obscure scorer like VIZIED.

Sixty of the 73 matches have a dictionary definition, which is roughly four in five. The other 13 carry no definition, so they read as bare letter strings until you see them on a board.
