6-letter words with V as the 4th letter and I as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ _ V I _, so the V and I stay fixed while the first three letters and final letter change. TRIVIA, PELVIS, and WEEVIL show how different the results can look. Only 6 of the 46 words meet the common-word frequency measure, so expect many less familiar entries alongside recognizable ones.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 46 tournament-dictionary words with V fourth and I fifth.
• C begins 9 words, while S begins 8; no other first letter reaches either count.
• E, N, and S are the final letter in 9 words apiece; A ends 7 and D ends 6.
• Just 6 words in the group meet the common-word frequency measure.
• Collins includes 45, NWL2023 includes 29, and ENABLE includes 25.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

TRIVIA, PELVIS, KELVIN, and STEVIA are among the more recognizable examples in the set. Other entries include CERVIX, WEEVIL, SALVIA, and CORVID. Each fits the same six-letter frame, but the words span very different subjects and levels of familiarity.

The count changes sharply by dictionary: Collins has 45 matching words, compared with 29 in NWL2023 and 25 in ENABLE. Only 6 qualify as common by frequency, so a large share may be unfamiliar. Check your game's word list before playing; acceptance depends on the dictionary it uses.

6-letter words with V as the 4th letter and I as the 5th letter

For a puzzle, lock in the V-I pair, then use the last letter to narrow your candidates. E, N, and S each finish 9 words, while A finishes 7 and D finishes 6. Those three leading endings account for 27 of the 46 matches, a useful shortlist when the final tile is unknown.

For Scrabble scoring, CERVIX leads at 18 points; JARVIE and EXUVIA each score 16, and KIDVID scores 15. A high face value does not guarantee a playable word: many entries are uncommon, and the fixed V-I pattern alone says nothing about what your rack or board can support.
