Only 12 six-letter entries fit these fixed positions, and four rank among the common English words in the set. The opening letters are tightly clustered: E starts five, A starts four, and O starts three. Every match appears in Collins; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include nine.

The V-and-N pattern at a glance

  • Collins lists all 12 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list nine.
  • Four entries meet the common-word cutoff, including EVENTS and AVENUE.
  • EVENLY is the top scorer at 12 points; EVINCE and OVONIC follow at 11.
  • Five words start E, four start A, and three start O.
  • Three words end E; D, R, and S each finish two words.

How do the 12 words begin and end?

Five of the 12 begin with E: EVENTS, EVENLY, and EVINCE are examples. Four start with A, including AVENUE and AVENGE; the other three start with O: OVENED, OVINES, and OVONIC. E, A, and O account for every starting letter in this group.

Compared with nearby six-letter patterns that keep N fourth, V is scarce: A second yields 177 matches, R yields 153, and O yields 152. The next largest listed option, E second, has 134. If a crossing clue forces V, expect a short candidate list rather than a broad search.

Final letters are less concentrated: three words end in E, while D, R, and S each take two. EVENTS and OVINES show the S ending; EVENED and OVENED supply D, while AVENIR and EVENER end R. The remaining endings are C, I, and Y, one each.

Which V-second, N-fourth words score highest?

EVENLY earns 12 Scrabble points, ahead of EVINCE and OVONIC at 11; AVENGE, EVENED, and OVENED each score 10. Those names give you a quick shortlist when a board premium square rewards a high-value play.

Use the fixed pattern _V_N__ before testing the first or last letter; the starting-letter split makes E, A, and O the only choices here. One limitation matters in play: Collins accepts all 12, but ENABLE and NWL2023 include nine each. For 6-letter words with V as the 2nd letter and N as the 4th letter, check your game's word list before committing.

Questions people ask

Which common words have V second and N fourth?
Four of the 12 matching words meet the common-word cutoff. EVENTS and AVENUE are recognizable examples from the set, alongside less familiar entries such as OVONIC. The common-word count is a subset of the full Collins list, so a familiar-looking word is not the only kind of match.
How many points does EVENLY score in Scrabble?
EVENLY scores 12 points before board premiums. That puts it ahead of EVINCE and OVONIC, which each score 11, and above AVENGE, EVENED, and OVENED at 10. A letter or word premium can change the total during play.
Are all 12 V-and-N words accepted in every game?
No. Collins includes all 12 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include nine. A game using one of those smaller dictionaries may reject some Collins entries, so check the word list your game follows before playing an unfamiliar answer.
