7-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and V as the 4th letter

CONVERT and CONVICT give you strong starting points when the first two letters are open. Both fit the fixed NV center, as do CONVENT and CONVENE. That C-heavy cluster is the defining shape here: most matches share the same opening, while only four start with another letter.

The endings narrow the search further. Seven answers finish in S, including CONVEYS and CONVOYS; four finish in T, such as CONVERT and CONVICT; and three finish in E. If your final tile is known, check the S-ending group first, then test T or E.

Collins lists all 14 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 10. That dictionary split matters in tournament play: a Collins-only answer will not be accepted in every game. Thirteen of the 14 entries have a listed definition.
