How many 6-letter words have V fourth and O fifth?

There are 22 6-letter words with V as the 4th letter and O as the 5th letter across the tournament dictionaries. FLAVOR and CONVOY are recognizable options; the set also includes FERVOR, SALVOS, BRAVOS, and SERVOS.

The endings show a clear tilt: eight words finish in S, while R and Y each appear three times. That makes plural forms such as CONVOS and SERVOS a sizable part of the pattern, but not its whole story: FLAVOR, FERVOR, and CONVOY finish differently.

Which V-O words score the most?

VOLVOX is the standout scorer at 19 points, ahead of MIKVOS and MIKVOT at 15 each. CONVOY follows at 14, while FLAVOR and FERVOR score 12 apiece. The unusual VOLVOX is a striking rack play, but its high value does not make it an everyday word.

Dictionary overlap is not complete: Collins has 21 matches, compared with 17 in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE. That spread matters for entries such as MIKVOT and VOLVOX, so check your game's word list before building a play around an uncommon candidate. The pattern has no Wordle answers.
