7-letter words with D as the 1st letter and V as the 4th letter

Position four is the pivot: the first three letters and final three still vary around it. Driving and drivers are nearly related in appearance, but the whole spelling must match the clue. Treat V as an anchor, then use crossings to decide which ending belongs.

• Driving is one recognizable example.
• DIVVIED leads at 15 points.
• Six end in s and five end in g.

D first and V fourth

The fourth-position V makes a compact seven-letter pattern. Driving, drivers and delving are among the familiar examples, while divvied tops the score ranking.

S and G account for most finishes, although four other final letters occur.

Driving and drivers are easy to recognize, and both preserve V in slot four. Delving and dervish widen the vocabulary without changing the clue. Those examples also show that endings S and G are not interchangeable; the final tile settles the choice.

Divvied leads the score list at 15, followed by dervish and divvies at 14. The top scores are close, so the high scorer does not tower over every other option. In a board game, inspect the placement square as well as the printed value.

Four remaining endings appear only once each. That long tail means a single crossing can be decisive when S or G fails. The set is small enough to scan directly instead of relying on a guessed word family.

Use the d first, v fourth clue

Position four is the pivot: the first three letters and final three still vary around it. Driving and drivers are nearly related in appearance, but the whole spelling must match the clue. Treat V as an anchor, then use crossings to decide which ending belongs.

The V sits exactly in the middle, with three variable letters on either side. Driving gives a familiar anchor; less common spellings need a careful dictionary check.
