6-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and A as the 5th letter

A V in slot two and an A in slot five make a tight pattern: just 11 tournament-dictionary words qualify. AVATAR is the only common entry; most of the rest are specialist vocabulary or less familiar forms. The endings also lean strongly toward R, which narrows a clue further when you know the final letter.

The pattern at a glance

• Exactly 11 words match V in position two and A in position five.
• AVATAR is the sole common word among the matches.
• SVARAJ and EVEJAR tie for the top Scrabble score at 16 points.
• Four entries end in R, including AVATAR, UVULAR, and OVULAR.
• The average score across the matching words is 11 points.

Which matching words are easiest to recognize?

AVATAR is the clearest everyday fit, and AVOWAL is another recognizable word. UVULAR and OVULAR share a root connected with the uvula and egg shape, respectively, so those two can be easier to remember as a pair. Their matching letters sit in the same fixed positions.

The remaining entries include forms such as UVULAS and UVULAE, plus the rarer EVOVAE, OVISAC, EVEJAR, and SVARAJ. That mix explains why the pattern is easy to describe but hard to complete from memory. For a puzzle, lock in any known letters first rather than guessing only familiar vocabulary.

Dictionary coverage differs for this small group: Collins lists all 11 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 8. An unfamiliar-looking fit is not automatically playable in every version of Scrabble, so check the word list used by your game before placing it.

The neighboring pattern with A in the second position has 425 matches, compared with 11 here. That contrast is a useful solving clue: a rare V in slot two does much more to narrow the search than the A in slot five. If you have a choice of known letters, keep the V fixed and test the other positions around it.
