• Thirty-nine entries have definitions, leaving some playable options less familiar or less clearly defined.

Which V-R words are easiest to recognize?

Start with VICTOR, VECTOR, VENDOR, and VIEWER: each is a recognizable word that fits the fixed V-at-start, R-at-end pattern. VENEER, VAPOUR, VALOUR, and VIGOUR add familiar choices, though some spellings reflect regional usage.

The small common-word group matters when you are solving from memory. Only 6 of the 47 matches are classified as common, so an unfamiliar result is not automatically a mistake.

How should you choose a high-scoring match?

For a score-first play, VIZIER is the standout at 18 points. VALKYR scores 16, while VAMPER reaches 13; VIEWER and VULVAR each score 12. These are base word scores, so a letter or word premium square can change the board result.

A useful distinction: the highest scorer is not necessarily the easiest word to remember or place. VIZIER’s uncommon letters drive its score, while VICTOR and VECTOR are more familiar options.
