The pattern is M _ _ V _ _ _, and all 15 matches appear in Collins. Five are in NWL2023 and five in ENABLE, so dictionary coverage changes by game. None falls within the common-word group, making this a narrow tournament-word search rather than a set of familiar everyday vocabulary.

7-letter words with M first and V fourth at a glance

  • Only 15 tournament-dictionary words fit M _ _ V _ _ _.
  • Collins includes all 15 matches; NWL2023 and ENABLE each include five.
  • No match belongs to the common-word group.
  • Seven words finish in S, while three finish in G.
  • MIKVAHS, MIKVEHS, and MIKVOTH tie for the top score at 19.

Which matching words score highest?

MIKVAHS, MIKVEHS, and MIKVOTH each score 19 points, the highest total among these matches. MAYVINS follows at 15. MOOVING, MIRVING, and MIEVING each score 13, while MARVELS, MAUVAIS, and MARVERS score 12 apiece.

The small total makes exact pattern matching matter: this is not a broad M-starting list. For comparison, keeping V in the fourth position but changing the first letter to S gives 92 matches. M is a much tighter filter for this particular clue.

Use the final letter to narrow the pattern

  • Start with S: seven matches end with that letter.
  • Check G next; three entries finish there.
  • E appears at the end of two words.
  • H, N, and T each finish one match.

Questions people ask

Which ending occurs most often among these words?
S is the most common final letter, appearing in seven of the 15 matches. G comes next with three. E appears twice, while H, N, and T each occur once, so checking S first trims the candidate set most sharply.
Are all 15 entries accepted in North American word games?
No. The full set of 15 appears in Collins, but only five matches are in NWL2023, the North American list. The overall total does not show which individual words overlap, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.
Are there common everyday words in this pattern?
No matches fall in the common-word group. MARVELS may look familiar, but most entries are specialist or uncommon forms, including MIKVAHS, MIKVEHS, and MIKVOTH. Treat the pattern as a tournament-word search, not a shortlist of everyday vocabulary.
