The fixed middle pair is VE: three letters come before it, and one follows. That leaves plenty of different word shapes, from travel and survey to leaves and proven. The pool has 55 common words, so recognizable options sit alongside entries you may not know.

The pattern at a glance

  • The pattern has 260 six-letter matches, with V fourth and E fifth.
  • S is the most common first letter, starting 58 words.
  • S is also the most common final letter, ending 87 words.
  • Collins lists 257 matches, compared with 199 in NWL2023 and 193 in ENABLE.
  • Jarvey and jayvee lead the scores at 19 points each.

How many 6-letter words with V as 4th and E as 5th?

There are 260 matches. Their first letters are unevenly spread: 58 begin with S, while 35 begin with C. That makes S a strong first check when your pattern leaves the opening letter unknown.

The final letter is just as revealing. A total of 87 words end in S, while 56 end in D and 55 end in R. Try those endings first when your last tile is uncertain; they account for a large share of the pattern.

Travel, served, silver, leaves, driver, and survey are recognizable examples. The 55 common entries are only a portion of the full set, and 214 matches have definitions. Less familiar words make up much of the remaining search.

Which V-fourth, E-fifth words score well?

Jarvey and jayvee each score 19 points, the highest listed totals. Convex, quiver, and quaver are close behind at 18 points apiece. Those unusual spellings and less familiar words can be harder to spot than everyday answers such as silver.

For a board play, compare the letters you can place and the premium squares available; a word’s score is not a guarantee of its final board value. The 6-letter words with V as 4th and E as 5th also vary by dictionary: the Collins count is 257, but ENABLE has 193. Check your game’s word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

Which starting letter is most common in this pattern?
S is the most common starting letter, with 58 matches. C comes next with 35, followed by P with 18. If your known pattern does not include the first tile, testing S and C first covers the strongest starting groups.
Are all 260 words valid in every word-game dictionary?
No, the dictionary counts differ. Collins contains 257 matches, while NWL2023 contains 199 and ENABLE contains 193. The total of 260 counts words found in at least one of those tournament dictionaries, not words shared by every list.
Which words in the pattern have the highest scores?
Jarvey and jayvee are tied at 19 points each. Convex, quiver, quaver, mikveh, and suivez each score 18. These are listed tile scores, so the score on a board can change with premium squares.
