7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and V as the 5th letter

The pattern fixes two positions but leaves plenty of room for different word shapes: 19 entries begin with R, while the most frequent endings are S, R, and D. REMOVED, DELIVER, and RECOVER are among the recognizable options. Only 12 matches rank among the most common English words, so expect a mix of everyday vocabulary and less familiar plays.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

• There are 37 tournament-dictionary matches with E second and V fifth.
• R begins 19 matches, more than all other starting letters combined.
• S is the most common final letter, appearing in 11 words.
• BEHAVED and BEHOVED lead the Scrabble scores at 16 points each.
• Collins includes 37 matches; NWL2023 includes 33 and ENABLE includes 31.

How do these seven-letter words begin and end?

R dominates the opening position: REMOVED, REMOVAL, RECOVER, and REVIVAL all fit, and the R-starting group is larger than every other starting-letter group combined. B comes next with 8 matches, including BELOVED, BEHAVED, and BEHAVES.

The final letters are more evenly divided. S closes 11 words, R closes 10, and D closes 8; together, those endings account for most of the set. That makes REMOVES and REVIVES useful candidates when your last tile is S, while REMOVER and REVIVER fit an R ending.

Which matches score well, and what should you watch for?

BEHAVED and BEHOVED score 16 points each in Scrabble before board bonuses. BEHAVES, MEDEVAC, MEDIVAC, BEHOVES, and BEHAVER each score 15, so the strongest plays come from B-starting words and the two MEDEVAC spellings.

The pattern is narrow beside nearby choices: keeping E second but changing the fifth letter to T gives 242 matches, compared with 37 for V. Use the fixed V to trim possibilities, then check the ending and your rack before committing. Seven-letter words can earn the Scrabble bingo bonus when they use all seven rack tiles, but a valid word still depends on your game's dictionary.
