6-letter words with V as the 1st letter and S as the 6th letter

Locking in V at the front and S at the end leaves 122 six-letter options, but only 14 qualify as common English words by frequency. Familiar choices include videos, values, voters, voices, and visits; the rest range from specialist vocabulary to uncommon plurals. The pattern fits crossword clues and word-list games, where crossings can rescue less familiar entries.

6-letter words with V as the 1st letter and S as the 6th letter

• The full pattern contains 122 words found in at least one tournament dictionary.
• Only 14 of those 122 are classed as common by the frequency measure.
• The source counts are 118 in Collins, 91 in NWL2023, and 79 in ENABLE; the dictionaries overlap.
• VAXXES leads the Scrabble scores at 23 points, with VOZHDS next at 22.
• The average score across matching entries is 11 points.

Which V-first, S-last words are easiest to recognize?

VIDEOS, VALUES, VOTERS, VOICES, VISITS, and VENUES make recognizable anchors for the pattern. VARIES and VERSES offer different middle-letter shapes, while VOWELS and VAULTS add more familiar choices. With the first and last tiles fixed, compare the four letters in between before ruling out a candidate.

Frequency is the catch: only 14 entries fall among the common words, while 98 are defined in the dictionary sources. Many options are less familiar than everyday terms. Start with a known middle pattern, such as -IDEO- in VIDEOS, then use crossings to test the candidates you do not recognize.

How do these V-first, S-last words score?

VAXXES is the standout Scrabble scorer at 23 points, and the X gives you a valuable tile to place. VOZHDS follows at 22; VIZIRS, VIZORS, VEZIRS, and VIZIES each score 18. These high scorers are much less familiar than VIDEOS or VALUES, so weigh the point total against whether you can place the word confidently.

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 118 matches, NWL2023 has 91, and ENABLE has 79. Those sets overlap, so their counts should not be added to estimate the total. The full 122-word count is a union across the tournament lists, not a guarantee that every game accepts each entry; check the lexicon your game uses.
