7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and V as the 6th letter

This fixed-position pattern produces a small, lopsided set rather than a broad word family. Most matches begin with R, and most finish with E, so those letters narrow the search quickly. The list also mixes everyday verbs such as DESERVE with less familiar entries, making dictionary choice worth checking before a tournament play.

At a glance: a narrow, uneven pattern

• Exactly 41 tournament-dictionary words fit the two fixed positions.
• R leads with 16 matches; D has 7 and B has 6.
• 30 matches end in E, far more than any other final letter.
• 10 entries rank among the 25,000 most common English words, so familiar options are a minority.
• Collins admits 40 matches, compared with 36 in NWL2023.

7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and V as the 6th letter

The leading initial is R: RECEIVE, RESERVE, DESERVE, RESOLVE, RELIEVE, and REVOLVE all fit. That concentration gives you a practical first check when the opening tile is unknown: try R before scanning less common initials.

The final E is another strong filter. Thirty matches end with that letter, while A is next with 6; O appears 3 times, and I and Y appear once each. The useful wrinkle is that the rare endings are still worth checking when a board pattern rules out E.

Which matches score highest?

ZELKOVA tops the scoring examples at 23 points, with ZEMSTVO and ZEMSTVA at 21 each. Those are far less familiar than BELIEVE or RECEIVE, but the Z and V make them valuable when your rack and board allow the play.

For a more recognizable option, BEEHIVE scores 15 and BEHOOVE also scores 15. The 7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and V as the 6th letter are not equally available in every game: the set contains 40 Collins words, 36 NWL2023 words, and 35 ENABLE words.
